in order that my mistakes may not be multiplied, and my sins may not abound; then I will not fall before my adversaries, and my enemy will not rejoice over me.
1
O Lord, Father and Ruler of my life, do not abandon me to their counsel, and let me not fall because of them!
2
O that whips were set over my thoughts, and the discipline of wisdom over my mind! That they may not spare me in my errors, and that it may not pass by my sins;
3
in order that my mistakes may not be multiplied, and my sins may not abound; then I will not fall before my adversaries, and my enemy will not rejoice over me.
4
O Lord, Father and God of my life, do not give me haughty eyes
