I do not say to the Lord,Despise not the works of my hands;But I commend not the works of my hands, for I fear that when thou examinest them thou wilt find more faults than merits.

This only I say, this asks this desire,Despise not the works of thy hands.
See in me thy work, not mine.
If thou sees mine, thou condemnest;
if thou sees thine own, thou crownest.
Whatever good works I have are of thee.
