主が彼に与えたのは知恵です。(Shu ga kare ni ataeta no ha chie desu)


Explanation:
As I wrote under the strength question, "The Lord" is usually refered to as "Shu" in Christian circels and I have given an alternative sentence.

Eg
eph: 1:17
どうか、私たちの主イエス・キリストの神、すなわち栄光の父が、神を知るための知恵と啓示の御霊を、あなたがたに与えてくださいますように。

Please look up the same chapter and verse on the English onle bible, referenced below.
