Original text and translations

English text

I lift my heart to thee, my God most just,
now suffer me to pour out my 'plaints.
My sins, alas, are so enlarged
that when I look up, lo, I am cast down
through my unrighteousness.
My humble suit, then, for mercy is;
mercy, good Lord, mercy I crave,
let me thy mercy have.
Amen.
