Wisdom 9:1-3
New Catholic Bible
Chapter 9
1 “God of my ancestors and Lord of mercy,
by your word[a] you have created all things,
2 and in your wisdom you have fashioned man
to have power over all the creatures you have made,
3 to govern the world in holiness and righteousness,
and to mete out justice with an upright heart.
