A Prayer of Jesus the son of Sirach.
I will thank thee, O Lord and King,
And praise thee, O aGod my Saviour:
I do give praise unto thy name:
2For thou art my defender and helper,
And hast preserved my body from destruction,
And bfrom the snare of the slanderous tongue,
And from the lips that cforge lies,
And hast been my helper against mine adversaries:
