5 Every word of God is flawless;
he is a shield for him who takes refuge in him.
6 Do not add to his words
lest he rebuke you and you be found a liar.

do not deny me before I die:
8 Keep falsehood and a lying word[a] far from me;
do not give me poverty or wealth;
provide me with food only for my need.
