A Prayer for Contentment
[7] “Two things I ask of you, Lord;
do not refuse me before I die:
[8] Keep falsehood and lies far from me;
give me neither poverty nor riches,
but give me only my daily bread.
[9] Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you
and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’
Or I may become poor and steal,
and so dishonor the name of my God.
-----------------------------------------
[1] My heart is not proud, Lord,
my eyes are not haughty;
I do not concern myself with great matters
or things too wonderful for me.
[2] But I have calmed and quieted myself,
I am like a weaned child with its mother;
like a weaned child I am content.
