31 A SONG OF PILGRIMAGE
| |||
| Refrain: | In prayer I inclined my ear* and my heart was stirred to seek Wisdom. | ||
| 1 |
While I was still young,* I sought Wisdom openly in my prayer. | ||
| 2 |
Before the temple I asked for her,* and I will search for her until the end. | ||
| 3 |
From the first blossom to the ripening grape,* my heart delighted in her. | ||
| 4 |
My foot walked on the straight path,* from my youth I followed her steps. | ||
| 5 |
I inclined my ear and received her,* I found for myself much instruction. | ||
| 6 |
I made progress in Wisdom;* to the One who sent her, I will give glory. | ||
| 7 |
I directed my soul to Wisdom,* and in purity have I found her. | ||
| 8 |
With her, I gained understanding from the first,* therefore will I never be forsaken. | ||
| 9 |
My heart was stirred to seek her,* with my tongue will I sing God’s praise. | ||
| |||
|
In prayer I inclined my ear* and my heart was stirred to seek Wisdom. | |||
