1. O God, Knower of all truths within Yourself
With Your perfect knowledge of all possibilities

2. You knew, my God, the essence of everything possible
As You willed creation out of nothingness

3. And whatever knowledge I may attain
Is naught compared to Your eternal knowledge

4. For nothing in creation, still or moving
Was not already known to You since eternity

5. What concern is my state to discuss? Since my nature
Is known to You, my God, who knows my innermost being

6. Yes, I confess my state from where I kneel
To You, as duty binds me in worship

7. I called out in affliction to the relief of prayer
So I took refuge in You in my straitened distress

8. Not an atom, O Lord, of my trial, pleading, state and refuge
Escapes You, though so much escapes my knowledge

9. You watch my harm, O Knower, with mercy
And grace, for I emerged not from nothingness by myself

10. And You know what I will do and leave behind
What was in my knowledge and what escaped my knowing

11. My God, You grasped the essence of my being
So make me as You will me to be in my submission
