| 7 | O God, I beg two favors from you; let me have them before I die. | Two things I ask of you; deny them not to me before I die: | “Two things I ask of you, LORD; do not refuse me before I die: | |
| 8 | First, help me never to tell a lie. Second, give me neither poverty nor riches! Give me just enough to satisfy my needs. | Remove far from me falsehood and lying; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that is needful for me, | Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. | |
| 9 | For if I grow rich, I may deny you and say, “Who is the LORD?” And if I am too poor, I may steal and thus insult God’s holy name. | lest I be full and deny you and say, “Who is the LORD?” or lest I be poor and steal and profane the name of my God. | 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. | |
