Wisdom of Jesus Son of Sirach


Sir.50 Verses 22 to 24


    [22] And now bless the God of all,
    who in every way does great things;
    who exalts our days from birth,
    and deals with us according to his mercy.
    [23] May he give us gladness of heart,
    and grant that peace may be in our days in Israel,
    as in the days of old.

    [24] May he entrust to us his mercy!
    And let him deliver us in our days!
