Psalm 111:10 ESV – 10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!

Proverbs 8:8-11 ESV – (wisdom is speaking) 8 All the words of my mouth are righteous; there is nothing twisted or crooked in them. 9 They are all straight to him who understands, and right to those who find knowledge. 10 Take my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold, 11 for wisdom is better than jewels, and all that you may desire cannot compare with her.

Lord,

True wisdom is loving You with my whole heart, mind and strength. True wisdom is trusting in Your goodness and Your holiness. You will always do what is right. You teach me and guide me according to Your Word. I will praise You forever!
