A Psalm of Praise From the Wisdom of Sirach


I will give thanks to You, O Lord and King. And I will praise You as my God and Saviour. I give thanks to Your name. For You have been my protector and helper, And You have redeemed my body from destruction And from the snare of a slanderous tongue, From the lips of those who work falsehood. And before all those who stood by, You were a helper, And You redeemed me.
(from The Orthodox Study Bible, The Wisdom of Sirach,Chapter 51:1&2).
