I am a sacrifice to one who sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

The confession completes itself and then does the only healthy thing with it: hands it over. "Inside I'm the most wicked of the wicked" — again, this is the language of a heart being scrupulously honest, and the very next breath is sanctuary: "save me however you see fit." This is the crucial pattern. The self-honesty does not curdle into despair or self-punishment; it flows straight into trust. You see the gap clearly, you don't pretend, and then you place the whole thing in kinder hands than your own. That movement — honesty followed by trust — is the healthy shape of a conscience. (Note: the fierce self-description is the poet's raw honesty; the teaching is the handing-over, not the harshness.)
