O Lord, thou hast said that we must be encompassed about by the floods. Now behold, O Lord,
and do not be angry with thy servant because of his weakness before
thee; for we know that thou art holy and dwellest in the heavens, and
that we are unworthy before thee; because of the fall our natures have
become evil continually; nevertheless, O Lord, thou hast given us a commandment that we must call upon thee, that from thee we may receive according to our desires.

Behold, O Lord,
thou hast smitten us because of our iniquity, and hast driven us forth,
and for these many years we have been in the wilderness; nevertheless,
thou hast been merciful unto us. O Lord,
look upon me in pity, and turn away thine anger from this thy people,
and suffer not that they shall go forth across this raging deep in
darkness; but behold these things which I have molten out of the rock.

Behold, O Lord, thou canst do this. We know that thou art able to show forth great power, which looks small unto the understanding of men.
