O God, you are my
God, but I am in a dry
and weary land; I
thirst for you.
My pride testifies
against me, and I stumble
in my guilt; far from
loving my
enemies, I don't even
do well returning the
love of those who
show me love.
What credit is that
to me? Should anyone
accept my testimony about
you?
