Sirach 51:1-3
Common English Bible
Prayer of Jesus, Sirach’s son[a]
51 I will give thanks to you,
Lord and King,
and I will praise you, God my savior.
I give thanks to your name,
2 because you have been
my protector and helper.
You have rescued my body
from destruction,
from the trap set
by a slanderous tongue,
from lips that fabricate lies.
In the presence of those who stood around me,
3 you were my helper.
In line with your abundant mercy
and your great name,
you rescued me from grinding teeth prepared to devour me,
from the power of those
who wanted to take my life,
from the many troubles that I have had,
