If it is the will of the great Lord,

  he will be filled with the spirit of understanding,

he will shower forth words of wisdom,

  and in prayer give thanks to the Lord.

He will grow upright in purpose and learning,

  he will ponder the Lord’s hidden mysteries.

He will display the instruction he has received,

  taking his pride in the Law of the Lord’s covenant.

Many will praise his understanding,

  and it will never be forgotten.

His memory will not disappear,

  generation after generation his name will live.

Nations will proclaim his wisdom,

the assembly will celebrate his praises.
