1. O Light, I have raised up my power to thee, my Light. 2. I have believed in thee; do not make me to be despised. Do not make the archons of the twelve aeons, which hate me, rejoice over me. 3. For all those that believe in thee will not be brought to shame. May those who have taken away my power remain in darkness, and have no profit from it, but have it taken away from them. 4. O Light, show me thy ways, and I will be saved by them; and show me thy paths, so that I be saved in the Chaos. 5. And lead me in thy light, and may I know, O Light, that thou art my Saviour; I will trust thee in my whole time. 6. Give heed, so that thou savest me, O Light, because thy compassion exists for ever. 7. Concerning my transgression which I have committed from the beginning in my ignorance, do not count it against me, O Light, but rather save me through thy great mystery of forgiveness of sins, for the sake of thy goodness, O Light. 8. For the Light is good and upright. Because of this he (the Light) will allow me (lit. give me my way) to be saved from my transgression. 9. And my powers, which are diminished through fear of the material emanations of the self willed, he will draw out thence by his ordinance. And to my powers, which are diminished through lack of mercy, he will teach his knowledge. 10. For all knowledges of the light are salvations and are mysteries to everyone who seeks the places of his inheritance and his mysteries. 11. For the sake of the mystery of thy name, O Light, forgive my transgression, for it is great. 12. To everyone who trusts the light, he will give the mystery which pleases him. 13. And his soul will exist in the places of the light; and his power will inherit the Treasury of the Light. 14. It is the light which gives power to those that believe in it. And the name of its mystery is for those that trust it. And it will show them the place of the inheritance which is in the Treasury of the Light. 15. Moreover I have believed in the light at all times, that it is this which will save my feet from the bonds of the darkness. 16. Give heed to me, O Light, and save me, for my name has been taken from me in the Chaos. 17. Beyond alt the emanations, my afflictions and my oppressions are very numerous; save me from my transgression and this darkness. 18. And look upon the distress of my oppression and forgive my transgression. 19. Give heed to the archons of the twelve aeons which hate me with envy. 20. Watch over my power and save me; and let me not remain in this darkness, for I have believed in thee. 21. And they have committed a great folly for I have believed in thee, O Light. 22. Now at this time, O Light, save my powers from the emanations of the self willed, by which I am oppressed.
