O my Lord, if my sins have grown great in number,
O Lord, though my sins are many in number
O Lord, if my sins have become great in their multitude,
then surely I know that Your pardon is greater.
I know Your pardon is yet greater
Indeed, I know that Your forgiveness is greater still.

If none but the doer of good hopes in You,
If none hopes in You but the righteous
If only the doer of good could hope in You,
then in whom does the sinner seek refuge and protection?
Then to whom shall the sinner go for refuge?
With whom, then, would the sinner seek refuge and protection?
