Wisdom comes from God and with God it shall remain
Like the sand of the seashore or the drops of the rain
Or the days of eternity
Who can number these, who can explore
Heaven’s height or the depths of the sea
Before all things were created
Wisdom came to be
The beginning of Wisdom is the awesome fear of God
Which is formed in the faithful in their mother’s womb
With devotion from of old
She inebriates with her finest fruit
And fills our house with food
Her garland is the fear of God
Her blossoms peace and good
