Now, O Lord my God, ^(q)You have made Your servant king in place of my father David, yet ^(r)I am but a little child; ^(s)I do not know how to go out or come in.

^(t)Your servant is in the midst of Your people which You have chosen, ^(u)a great people who are too many to be numbered or counted.

So ^(v)give Your servant ^[d]an understanding heart to judge Your people ^(w)to discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this ^[e]great people of Yours?"
