Don’t deny me before I die.

Give me neither poverty nor riches.
Feed me with the food that is needful for me,

or lest I be poor, and steal,
and so dishonor the name of my God.

do not deny me them before I die:

and say, “Who is the Lord?”
or lest I be poor, and steal,
and take the name of my God in vain.
