1. I have lost hope of favors for my soul,
And my determination to withstand adversity has diminished.

2. Say to the one insisting on asking people,
In order to get some benefit from my distress:

3. Do you offer my face-water for other than Your face,
And erase with the name of Your evil the mention of my goodness?!

4. I am too proud to ask for benefits for myself,
So how can I bear to do that for others?!
