Two things I asked of You,
Do not withhold from me before I die:
Keep worthlessness and every false word far from me,
Give me neither poverty nor riches;
Feed me with the (A)food that is my portion,
Lest I be (B)full and deny (C)You and say, “Who is Yahweh?”
Or lest I be (D)impoverished and steal,
And [a](E)profane the name of my God.

And [b]use profanely the name of my God.
