What you have made clean, dear God, we must not call profane.
Whom you have made good, we must not accuse of deceptions.
To us it seems a hard service to separate clean from profane,
or to discern who is a good person and who a deceiver,
but you will deliver us from the snare of the fowler.
Deliver us from the snares of false accusations
and from the deadly pestilence of gossip.
