Teach me good judgment and discernment,
for I rely on Your commands.

Help me understand
the meaning of Your precepts
so that I can meditate on Your wonders.

I am Your servant; give me understanding
so that I may know Your decrees.

Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without criticizing, and it will be given to him.

So God said to him, “Because you have requested this and did not ask for long life or riches for yourself, or the death of your enemies, but you asked discernment for yourself to understand justice, I will therefore do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has never been anyone like you before and never will be again.
