QOPH: I have cried out with my whole heart; hear me, O Jehovah! I will keep Your Statutes.

In my distress I called upon Jehovah, and cried out to my God; He heard my voice from His temple, and my cry came before Him, into His ears.

Then the priests, the Levites, rose up and blessed the people, and their voice was heard; and their prayer came up to His holy dwelling place, to the heavens.

The righteousness of Your Testimonies is eternal; give me understanding, and I shall live.

Only may Jehovah give you wisdom and understanding, and give you charge concerning Israel, to keep the Law of Jehovah your God.

Now give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this great people of Yours?

yes, if you cry out for discernment, lifting up your voice for understanding;

then you shall understand the fear of Jehovah, and find the knowledge of God.

And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings, and sets up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who have understanding.

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
