Jesus, you knew how to prepare for teaching;
people would rise early in the morning to hear you.
When their cares were many, you cheered their souls.
Why, O Lord, should I be wise in my own eyes,
shrewd in my own sight, forgetting you?
Don’t let me quench the Spirit,
but help me test everything
and hold fast to what
is good.
