1. The God who is exalted
And transcendent in his loftiness

2. He whom I have spoken of
Wanting me to draw near

3. Has never ceased interceding for me
And being intimate with me

4. When He denied likeness to me
For that reason I was not a match

5. I did not take the word of my Lord
When reciting it as mockery

6. Glory be to Him and exalted
Above any likeness is His sublimity

7. And with this transcendence
He has said "He loves intimacy"

8. I was perplexed about myself and about Him
If He had wanted creation

9. He would not have permitted that from Himself
O Lord, forgiveness and pardon

10. You are Powerful over it
So be in my covenant forgiving
