Sirach 39:5-7
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

5 They set their hearts to rise early
    to seek the Lord who made them
    and to petition the Most High;
they open their mouths in prayer
    and ask pardon for their sins.(A)

6 If the great Lord is willing,
    they will be filled with the spirit of understanding;
they will pour forth words of wisdom of their own
    and give thanks to the Lord in prayer.(B)
7 The Lord[a] will direct their counsel and knowledge
    as they meditate on his mysteries.(C)
