Sirach 51:10-12

Revised Standard Version

¹⁰ I appealed to the Lord, the Father of my lord,
    not to forsake me in the days of affliction,
    at the time when there is no help against the proud.
¹¹ I will praise thy name continually,
    and will sing praise with thanksgiving.
My prayer was heard,
¹²     for thou didst save me from destruction
    and rescue me from an evil plight.
Therefore I will give thanks to thee and praise thee,
    and I will bless the name of the Lord.
