as God gives us to see the right
I'd like to know what God gives us to see the right means in the paragraph below (from President Lincoln's second inaugural address)
With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the
right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the
work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who
shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do
all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among
ourselves and with all nations.

Thank you Hot Licks. Could I get more details about what makes you insert the word wisdom or vision in the sentence?

You can choose among several words. Something is "God-given", and that "thing" (call it "wisdom", "vision", "power", "insight", what-have-you) makes you able to "see" what is right (if you don't let hatred, greed, or some other human failing block the ability).

You can choose among several words. Something is "God-given", and that "thing" (call it "wisdom", "vision", "power", "insight", what-have-you) makes you able to "see" what is right (if you don't let hatred, greed, or some other human failing block the ability).
