1 O my god! my sins are seven times seven! 2 O my goddess! my sins are seven times seven!
(And then a prayer follows, that those sins may be pardoned as a father and mother would pardon them!)
AN ADDRESS TO SOME DEITY
In heaven who is great? Thou alone art great!
On earth who is great? Thou alone art great!
When thy voice resounds in heaven, the gods fall prostrate!
When thy voice resounds on earth, the genii kiss the dust!

O Thou; thy words who can resist? who can rival them?
Among the gods thy brothers, thou hast no equal!
A PRAYER [Footnote: Idem.]
The god my creator, may he stand by my side!
Keep thou the door of my lips! guard thou my hands, O Lord of light!
