Father, give me not unto falsehoods and lies, Nor poverty or riches in its stead; But please, help me to always be wise, And give to me only my daily bread.

Proverbial
Father, give me not unto falsehoods and lies, Nor poverty or riches in its stead; But please, help me to always be wise, And give to me only my daily bread.
So, this is really just me taking Proverbs 30:8 and adding a little to make it rhyme. I won't take credit for the words; that should belong to Agur.
