1. Lord, Father and Ruler of my life: may you not abandon me to their counsel, nor permit me to fall by them.
2. They would impose scourges over my thoughts and over the discipline of wisdom in my heart. And they would not spare me from their ignorances, nor would they allow their own offenses to become apparent.
3. And they intend that my ignorances would increase, and my offenses be multiplied, and my sins abound. And so I would fall in the sight of my adversaries, and be rejoiced over by my enemy.
4. Lord, Father and God of my life: may you not abandon me to their plans.
5. Do not leave me with the haughtiness of my eyes. And avert all desire from me.
6. Take the desire of the body from me, and do not allow sexual desire to take hold of me, and do not permit an irreverent and senseless mind within me.
7. O sons: listen to the doctrine of my mouth. For those who observe it will not perish by the lips, nor be scandalized into wicked works.
