1. ‘I have cried out to thee, O Light of Lights, in my affliction, and thou hast heard me.
2. O Light, save my power from unjust and iniquitous lips, and from cunning snares.
3. The light which was taken away from me with a cunning snare will not be brought to thee.
4. For the snares of the self willed are widespread, with the traps of the merciless.
5. Woe to me, for my dwelling was far off and I was in the dwellings of the Chaos.
6. My power was in places which were not mine.
7. And I flattered those merciless ones, and when I flattered them, they attacked me without cause’.
