Sol 5.6

  1. Your little servant, O Accepter of repentance, has come to You seeking refuge,

    Bearing sin—so pardon all that he has borne.

  2. Be bountiful in accepting repentance, O Pardoner and Mercy,

    Toward an erring servant who so long remained heedless of You.

  3. At Your door he calls, O You who see his condition;

    So lavish upon him, O boundless in grace, a generous bounty.

  4. I have committed sins, O All-Forgiving—so be the One

    Who changes them to good, for I have repented of them, O Forbearing One.

  5. In weakness I have presented myself, O Compassionate One, for a mercy

    You may bestow, O Appreciative One who accepts.

  6. Though my sin has left me desolate, my God,

    The solace of my hope in You, O One, has dawned.

  7. So be pleased with me, O Appreciative One, and with my devotion;

    Blessed is the one whom You grant approval and acceptance.

  8. Increase my humility before You, O Supremely Great;

    If people lower my standing, You raise it, and it soars.

  9. O Forgiver of sin, forgive my sin and my errors,

    Even if they are a burden that breaks the back with its weight.

  10. O Accepter of repentance, accept the repentance

    Brought to You by a servant who sinned, then renounced his sin.

  11. This, O Generous One, is my aim and my desire;

    Whoever seeks the Generous One and hopes in Him is never disappointed.
