Page 76 - Your Extravagant Kindness

You know I have not kept silent, my Creator.

I have not concealed your justice.
From my heart I have spoken of your faithfulness
and your saving action.

I've not hidden your truth
or your kindness from the great assembly.

Eternal One, remain compassionate.
Your truth and kindness continually guard me.

Innumerable evils have encompassed me

my iniquities have overtaken me – at times
I cannot see. They feel more numerous
than the hairs on my head –

and my heart falters within me.

Please, my Guardian, have compassion;
Creator, come quickly to my aid.

Let whatever seeks to destroy my soul be confounded.
May those who desire evil for me repent;

whoever derides me become desolate,

but all who search for you will rejoice and delight in you.
Those who love your salvation say unceasingly,
“May Godde be glorified!”

And I, I am poor and in need.

My Guardian will devise my help.
You are my deliverer,
Oh my Godde, don't take too long.
