1. The truth has been made clear for the discerning one,
So will my negligent heart desist its wandering?

2. What is this boldness, O heart! If only
You left it for the greatest dread.

3. O guilty one, why do I see
Your safety from your guilt like the innocent one's?

4. You wasted in pleasures the time of youth,
And went about in vanity, and did not shorten [worldly enjoyment].

5. So repent to God, and fear His cunning,
And weep over your sin, and seek forgiveness,

6. And put on the armor of sorrow out of fear of Him;
It will avail you instead of armor and forgiveness.
