Sirach 39:8 CPDV

⁶  At first light, he will offer his heart with watchfulness to the Lord who made him, and he will pray in the sight of the Most High.

⁷  He will open his mouth in prayer, and he will make supplication for his offenses.

⁸  For if the great Lord is willing, he will fill him with the Spirit of understanding.

⁹  And he will send forth the eloquence of his wisdom like rain showers, and in his prayer, he will confess to the Lord.

¹⁰  And he will direct his counsel and his discipline, and he will meditate on his mysteries.
