51:14 I called upon the Lord, the Father of my Lord, so that he would not abandon me in the day of my tribulation, nor in the time of arrogance without assistance.

51:15 I will praise your name unceasingly, and I will praise it with thanksgiving, for my prayer was heeded.

51:16 And you freed me from perdition, and you rescued me from the time of iniquity.

51:17 Aus diesem Grund, I will give thanks and praise to you, and I will bless the name of the Lord.

51:18 When I was still young, before I wandered astray, I sought wisdom openly in my prayer.

51:19 I asked for her before the temple, and even to the very end, I will inquire after her. And she flourished like a newly-ripened grape.

51:20 My heart rejoiced in her. My feet walked in the right path. From my youth, I pursued her.
