But this Thy Word were little did it only command by speaking,
and not go before in performing. This then I do in deed and word, this
I do under Thy wings; in over great peril, were not my soul subdued
unto Thee under Thy wings, and my infirmity known unto Thee. I am a
little one, but my Father ever liveth, and my Guardian is sufficient
for me. For He is the same who begat me, and defends me: and Thou
Thyself art all my good; Thou, Almighty, Who are with me, yea,
before I am with Thee. To such then whom Thou commandest me to serve
will I discover, not what I have been, but what I now am and what I
yet am. But neither do I judge myself. Thus therefore I would be
heard.
For Thou, Lord, dost judge me: because, although no man knoweth
the things of a man, but the spirit of a man which is in him, yet is
there something of man, which neither the spirit of man that is in
him, itself knoweth. But Thou, Lord, knowest all of him, Who hast made
him. Yet I, though in Thy sight I despise myself, and account myself
dust and ashes; yet know I something of Thee, which I know not of
myself.
