Sirach 51:1-3

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

51 A prayer of Jesus the son of Sirach. I will give glory to thee, O Lord, O King, and I will praise thee, O God my Saviour.

² I will give glory to thy name: for thou hast been a helper and protector to me.

³ And hast preserved my body from destruction, from the snare of an unjust tongue, and from the lips of them that forge lies, and in the sight of them that stood by, thou hast been my helper.
