He hath caused me to know Himself, without grudging, by His simplicity: His kindness has humbled His greatness.

And there shall neither be anything that breathes without knowledge, nor any that is dumb:

And my inebriation was not one without knowledge, but I forsook vanity and turned to the Most High my God,

And be without stain at all times before Him. Hallelujah.

The way of error I have left, and have walked towards Him and have received salvation from Him, without grudging.

And it hath been made known to His faithful ones, and hath been given without stint to all those that trust in Him. Hallelujah.
