O God, you have
searched me and known me.
You know that I love
praise from others,
and that I try to
make them aware of
my virtues without
revealing my
weaknesses or
appearing to boast.
You well know how I
try to be captain
of my ship, then come
running back to you
when I am in trouble
and my boat is in
danger of
sinking. Forgive me--
I have no reason to
boast.
