Sirach 51:11-13

Common English Bible

¹¹ I will praise your name continually,
    and I will sing thanksgiving hymns.”
My prayer was heard,
¹²     because you saved me from destruction
    and you rescued me from an evil time.
    For this, I will give thanks, praise you,
        and bless the Lord’s name.^[a]

¹³ When I was still young,
before I had traveled,
    I sought Wisdom openly in my prayer.
