For sincerity.
Thou art my Creator,
and the soul
which Thou hast breathed into me
is pure.
Thereby hast Thou given me
the power of discerning
right from wrong
and good from evil.
O my God,
guard my tongue from evil
and my lips from speaking guile.
May all my thoughts
be clean and kindly,
and may all that I do
be open and sincere.
Help me to be
true and upright
towards every one.
By blessing,
may I be blessed.
By making happy,
may I become happy.
By trusting,
may I be trusted.
By showing lovingkindness and truth,
may I receive love and mercy
at Thy throne of Mercy.
Amen.
