1. What is his name? (1-6)

The author was a wise man, but he admitted his ignorance about the Holy One. Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Who created all things? He is God and his Son Jesus. Jesus was with God when God created the wind, sea, waters and earth. He was God (Jn 1:1). He came down and has gone up to heaven. He will come again. God's every word is flawless. We must not change it. Rather we should change ourselves according to the word of God.

2. Two things I ask of God (7-10)

The author asked God, "Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches." Why? Falsehood and lies lead us to indulge in worldly honor, power and glory. Too much in riches may lead us to disown God. Too much poverty also may make us steal and dishonor God. His only desire was not to disown the name of the Lord God in any situation.
