God of my fathers , God of mercy , you created all things by your word , and by your wisdom you formed man that he might have dominion over all the creatures you have made : that he might govern the world in fairness and justice and pronounce judgement with an upright heart : give me this Wisdom thay sits with you on your throne . Do not exclude me from the number of your children for I am your servant and the one of your handmaid , a man who is weak and short-lived , with little understanding of judgement and laws . For even though a person be considered prefect amon the children of men , he is nonetheless worthless if your Wisdom does not dwell in him
Extracts from the Prayer of Solomon
