Look upon me and look after me in all my affairs,
for if Thou entrustest me to myself, I will be incapable before myself
and fail to undertake that in which my best interest lies.
If Thou entrustest me to Thy creatures, they will frown upon me,
and if Thou makest me resort to my kinsfolk, they will refuse to give to me;
if they give, they will give little and in bad temper,
making me feel long obliged and blaming me much.
So through Thy bounty, O God, free me from need, through Thy mightiness, lift me up,
