1. I accepted some humiliation out of fear of it all,
For the likes of me have no rule over kings.

2. I was a man who feared punishment and was pious,
Lest my hands and tongue lead me astray.

3. Had I blamed one with power,
I would have exposed myself to the onslaught of calamities.

4. Is there an intercessor from You who can guarantee my repentance?
For I am a man who fulfills every guarantee.
