The transgression (I committed, Istar, my mother, knew). (My tears) I drink like the waters of the sea. That which was forbidden by my God I ate without knowing. That which was forbidden by Istar, my mother, I trampled on without knowing. O my Lord, my transgression is great, many are my sins. O my God, my transgression is great, many are my sins. O Istar, my mother, my transgression is great, many are my sins. O my God, who knowest that I knew not, my transgression is great, many are my sins. O Istar, my mother, who knowest that I knew not, my transgression is great, many are my sins. The transgression that I committed I knew not. The sin that I sinned I knew not. The forbidden thing did I eat. The forbidden thing did I trample on. My Lord, in the anger of his heart, has punished me. God, in the strength of his heart, has taken me. Istar, my mother, has seized upon me, and put me to grief. God, who knoweth that I knew not, has afflicted me. Istar, my mother, who knoweth that I knew not, has caused darkness. I prayed, and none takes my hand. I wept, and none held my palm. I cry aloud, but there is none that will hear me. I am in darkness and hiding, I dare not look up. To God I refer my distress, I utter my prayer. The feet of Istar, my mother, I embrace. To God, who knoweth that I knew not, my prayer I utter. To Istar, my mother, who knoweth that I knew not, my prayer I address. [The next four lines are destroyed.] How long, O God (shall I suffer)? How long, O Istar, my mother (shall I be afflicted)? How long, O God, who knoweth that I knew not (shall I feel thy) strength? How long, O Istar, my mother, who knoweth that I knew not, shall thy heart (be angry)? Thou writest the number (?) of mankind, and none knoweth it. Thou callest man by his name, and what does he know? Whether he shall be afflicted, or whether he shall be prosperous, there is no man that knoweth. O my God, thou givest not rest to thy servant. In the waters of the raging flood take his hand. The sin he has sinned turn into good. Let the wind carry away the transgression I have committed. Destroy my manifold wickednesses like a garment. O my God, seven times seven are my transgressions, my transgressions are (ever) before me. A rubric is attached to this verse, stating that it is to be repeated ten times, and at the end of the whole psalm is the further rubric: 'For the tearful supplication of the heart let the glorious name of every god be invoked sixty-five times, and then the heart shall have peace.'
