I am not worthy to look up and behold the heights of heaven by reason of the multitude of mine iniquity. Almighty [Lord]. I am bowed down by the constraint of iron fetters, and there is no rest for me. Almighty [Lord]. I provoked [thy] wrath and did evil before thee; I set up an idol and multiplied indignation against my soul. Almighty [Lord]. And now, Lord, I bow the knee of my heart and seek of thy sweetness. Almighty [Lord]. I have sinned, Lord, I have sinned, and I myself know mine iniquities. Almighty [Lord]. I beseech and ask of thee: forgive me, Lord, forgive me, and destroy me not according to mine iniquity. Almighty [Lord]. Be not angry with me forever, Lord, and remember not my evils, and condemn me not with those who have gone down into the depths of the earth in [their] evils. Almighty [Lord]. For thou, O God, art the God of the penitent; and show forth thy beneficence in me, who am unworthy. Almighty [Lord]. Thou shalt save me according to [thy] abundant mercy,
