vouchsafe unto us, through Thy bounty, that which Thou lovest
and desirest and well beseemeth Thee. Exalt the station of them that have
truly believed, and forgive them with Thy gracious forgiveness. Verily,
Thou art the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting.

"I beg Thee to forgive me, O my Lord, for every..."

I beg Thee to forgive me, O my Lord, for every mention but the mention of
Thee, and for every praise but the praise of Thee, and for every delight
but delight in Thy nearness, and for every pleasure but the pleasure of

good-pleasure, and for all things pertaining unto me which bear no
relationship unto Thee, O Thou Who art the Lord of lords, He Who provideth
the means and unlocketh the doors.

whatsoever God hath graciously bestowed upon them, who celebrate Thy
praise at morn and eventide, and who are not remiss in their duties.

and Thou art the Mighty, the Omnipotent. We are all sinners, and Thou art
the Forgiver of sins, the Merciful, the Compassionate. O Lord! Look not at
our shortcomings. Deal with us according to Thy grace and bounty. Our
