2
Who will set scourges over my thoughts, and the discipline of wisdom over mine heart? that they spare me not for mine ignorances, and it pass not by my sins:
1
O Lord, Father and Governor of all my whole life, leave me not to their counsels, and let me not fall by them.
2
Who will set scourges over my thoughts, and the discipline of wisdom over mine heart? that they spare me not for mine ignorances, and it pass not by my sins:
3
Lest mine ignorances increase, and my sins abound to my destruction, and I fall before mine adversaries, and mine enemy rejoice over me, whose hope is far from thy mercy.
4
O Lord, Father and God of my life, give me not a proud look, but turn away from thy servants always a haughty mind
5
Turn away from me vain hopes and concupiscence, and thou shalt hold him up that is desirous always to serve thee.
