Grant me, O Lord…
Gewähre mir, Gott…
To know what is worth knowing, Zu wissen, was wissenswert ist,
To love what is worth loving, Zu lieben, was sich lohnt zu lieben,
To praise what delights you most, Zu loben, was Dich am meisten begeistert,
To value what is precious in your sight. zu würdigen, was kostbar ist in Deinen Augen.
Do not let me judge by what I see, Nicht nach dem, was ich sehe zu urteilen,
Nor pass sentence according to what I hear, Auch nicht nach dem, was ich höre,
But to judge rightly between things that differ, Sondern recht zu urteilen, wo Dinge unterschiedlich sind,
And above all to search out and do what pleases you. Amen. Und vor allem, herauszufinden, was Dich erfreut. Amen.
