Have mercy and so keep me that I may love You with all my heart and soul, and that I may obey in all things Your will;
O Lord, my God and my Life,
Have mercy and shield me from evil persons and devils and passions and all other lawless matters;
O Lord, my God and my Life, Who knows Your creation and that which You have willed for it;
