“Two things I have asked of you.
    Don’t deny me before I die.
Remove far from me falsehood and lies.
    Give me neither poverty nor riches.
    Feed me with the food that is needful for me,
lest I be full, deny you, and say, ‘Who is Yahweh?’
    or lest I be poor, and steal,
    and so dishonor the name of my God.

    feed me with food convenient for me;
lest I be full, and deny You,
    and say, “Who is the Lord?”
or lest I be poor, and steal,
    and take the name of my God in vain.
