Give me neither poverty nor riches;
Feed me with the (A)food that is my portion,

And (E)profane the name of my God.

and give me neither poverty nor wealth.
Feed me with food that I need for today,[b]
9 so that I don’t become overfed and deny you by saying,
“Who is the Lord?”
or so that I don’t become poor and steal,
and then misuse the name of my God.
