Save me, my Savior, according to Your goodness, and not according to my deeds! You want to save me, You know how to save me: save me, as you want, as you can, as you weigh: even as fate weighs, save me! I hope for You, my Lord, and I commit myself to Your Holy Will: do with me whatever you want! If you want to have me in the light, be blessed. If you want to have me in the darkness: be blessed again. If you open the doors of Your mercy for me: good and good, If you close the doors of Your mercy for me: blessed are you who shuts the world into righteousness. Lest Thou destroy me with my iniquities, glory to Thy immeasurable mercy. If you destroy me with my iniquities, glory to your righteous judgment: arrange for me as you wish!
