¹ May God pour His grace and blessings into us
    and turn His face to shine His light on us.

[pause]^[a]

² So all those on earth will learn to follow Your way
    and see Your saving power come to redeem all nations.
³ May all people live to praise You, Our True God;
    may all come to praise You.

⁴ May all nations celebrate together, singing joy-filled songs of praise to You
    because You judge the people fairly
    and give guidance to all the nations of the earth.

[pause]

⁵ May the people praise You with their whole hearts, O God;
    may every man, woman, and child on the earth praise You.

⁶ The land has supplied a bountiful harvest,
    and the True God, our God, has poured out His blessings to us all.
⁷ God is the source of our blessings;
    may every corner of the earth respect and revere Him.

2 My son, if you accept what I am telling you
    and store my counsel and directives deep within you,
² If you listen for Lady Wisdom, attune your ears to her,
    and engage your mind to understand what she is telling you,
³ If you cry out to her for insight
    and beg for understanding,
⁴ If you sift through the clamor of everything around you
    to seek her like some precious prize,
    to search for her like buried treasure;
⁵ Then you will grasp what it means to truly respect the Eternal,
    and you will have discovered the knowledge of the one True God.
