Or tell their tale: yet some will I confess,

Even a few, though as a drop it be

In all the sea.

I will declare my trespasses and sin,

And peradventure silence then may fall

Upon their waves and billows’ raging din,

And Thou wilt hear from heaven, when I call,

And pardon all.

My God, if mine iniquity

Too great for all endurance be,
