11. I will praise your name continually,and I will sing thanksgiving hymns."My prayer was heard,
12. because you saved me from destructionand you rescued me from an evil time.For this, I will give thanks, praise you,and bless the Lord’s name.
13. When I was still young,before I had traveled,I sought Wisdom openly in my prayer.
14. In front of the temple, I asked for her,and I will search for her until I die.
15. From the first blossomto the ripening of the grape clusters,my heart delighted in her;I walked in straight paths;I chased her down from my youth.
16. I paid a little attention, and I received herand found much instruction for myself.
