1. I chose to bear some humiliation for fear of all of it,
And the likes of me cannot contend with kings.

2. I was a man who feared punishment and was cautious,
Of the troubles caused by my hands and tongue.

3. If only I had a lord of power,
I would have exposed myself to youthful impulse.

4. Is there no intercessor from You to guarantee my repentance?
For I am a man who honors every guarantee.
