Sirach 51:1–2

A prayer of Jesus the son of Sirach. I will give glory to thee, O Lord, O King, and I will praise thee, O God my Saviour.

2 I will give glory to thy name: for thou hast been a helper and protector to me.

1 I give you thanks, O Lord and King,

and praise you, O God my Savior.

I give thanks to your name,

2 for you have been my protector and helper

and have delivered my body from destruction

and from the trap laid by a slanderous tongue,

from lips that fabricate lies.

In the face of my adversaries,

you have been my helper
