''How unhappy I feel: there is no one I can ask for help, as I have broken the laws of both earth and heaven. So which way can I turn? Who can I run to? Who will take pity on me? I dare not look up to heaven, as I have sinned against it grievously. I can find no refuge on earth, as I have been a scandal to it also.
 
''What then can I do? Despair? I shall not. God is merciful, my Saviour will  take pity on me. Then God alone shall be my refuge, he will not despise the work of his own hands, his own image he will not turn away.
 
''To you then, most merciful God, I come in sadness and penitence. You are my only hope, my only refuge. But what can I say to you? Since I dare not look up to heaven, let me pour out words of sorrow, let me beg for your mercy and say:
 
''Have mercy on me, according to your infinite loving kindness.
 
''(translation by Mick Swithinbank)''
