I speak of grand things, but am I not just practicing hypocrisy?
My face wears a pitiful expression, yet there is no true mercy in my heart!
Showering a stream of compassion outwardly, while burning up inside with anger;
I form relationships with everyone, but I always look for my own selfishness first.
Shedding tears at the sorrow of the grieving, while secretly mocking their plight;
There is no one as wretched and fallen as me in this world!
O Lord, righteous and pure—only You, and You alone, can make me.
