My heart is not perfect with thee,
Thou hast searched me and hast found it so,
My words are lies and I am a dishonor unto thee,
What cometh from my mouth is good,
But what rests in my heart is evil,
I am wretched and pitiful, oh God,
If only thou wouldst return thy love to me,
And remove this sin that has stained m soul,
I have left my first love,
And my heart is no longer with gladness,
torment covers my soul, and bitterness is my nearest friend,
thou hast removed my pride,
Thou hast cast me down,
Thou hast left me alone in my despair.
