[tabitha]

Thou King of Peace, seest into the depths of hearts and innermost parts.
Thou knowest my poverty and mindlessness.
Thou knowest my blindness and ignorance, but Thou seest my heart's desire
and my soul's sickness and sorrow are not hidden from Thee.
Hearken then unto my prayer, and by Thy Holy Spirit direct me to the true land.
Whenever my corrupt will should lead me along strange paths,
then I pray Thee, SPARE ME NOT, but by constraint bring me back
to the path of Thy Holly Commandments.
By the power of Thy Love, let me follow in Thy footsteps, wherever Thou goest.

Protect me from every soul-destroying word and deed,
from every agitation of heart and mind which may sorrow Thy Holy Spirit or grieve my brother.
Teach me what it is fitting to say and how to fittingly say it.
If it be Thy will that I keep silent, give me the sense to keep silent in the spirit of peace,
not like those who outrage or trouble my neighbor.
Order me in the ways of thy statutes and even my last breath
do not let me deviate from the light of Thy commandments,
so that Thy commandments shall be the sole low of all my being, both now and ever.

O My Blessed Maker,
Be merciful to me, Thy fallen creature,
be generous with me in my humility and sorrow,
and hide not from me the way of Thy salvation.
Many and great things I ask of Thee, O My God,
but forget not my corruption and my uselessness.
Therefore, have mercy on me, and turn not Thy face from me,
on account of my audacity, but all the more, increase in me the holy audacity,
and make me worthy, most wretched of men,
to love Thee, as Thou hast commanded us,
with all my heart, all my soul, all my mind and all my strength.
With all my being, may I love Thee.

O Lord King, by Thy Holy Spirit,
Teach me prudence and wisdom.
Grant me to know Thy Truth before I descend into my grave.
Prolong my days in this world so that I may bring to Thee the worthy fruits of repentance.
Do not carry me off in the midst of my days, nor in the darkness of my mind.
But when Thou mercifully permittest the end of my cursed life, warn me,
so that my soul will be prepared to see Thee.
On that great day, at that dread hour, be with me, O LORD,
and grant me the ineffable joy of Thy salvation.
Cleanse me of my hidden things and from all unlawfulness lurking in me,
and grant me to bring a good defense at Thy Dread Judgement.

Yea, Lord, according to Thy great mercy and Thy immeasurable love for mankind, hear my prayer. Amen.
