^{7 Ref} Two things have I asked of thee; Deny me `them' not before I die:

^{8 Ref} Remove far from me falsehood and lies; Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with the food that is needful for me:

^{9 Ref} Lest I be full, and deny `thee', and say, Who is Jehovah? Or lest I be poor, and steal, And use profanely the name of my God.
