[God,] I have asked two things of you;
    don’t deny them to me as long as I live —
keep falsehood and futility far from me,
    and give me neither poverty nor wealth.
Yes, provide just the food I need today;
for if I have too much, I might deny you
    and say, “Who is Adonai?”
And if I am poor, I might steal
    and thus profane the name of my God.

    and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’(C)
Or I may become poor and steal,
    and so dishonor the name of my God.(D)
