- Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
- English translations (Windeatt: 1998): And because you have helped me (who am the least deserving among those counted as recipients of your grace) when I was likely to die, and have bestowed me in so high a place that there is no happiness more boundless—I can say no more; but praise and reverence be to your goodness and your excellence!’
- Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): 貴方のお恵みを受ける中に数えられている人びとのうちそれに一番値するはずがないおれを、死にそうになった時、お助けくださり、どんな至福もその境を越えられないほどのすばらしい高い位置をおれに授けてくれましたので、もう何も言えません。でもあなたの恵み深さと貴方の卓越の力にただ賞賛と敬意あるのみです。」
- Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 在你的德泽之下我是最卑劣的一个奴役，于我将死的前夕得你拯救，赐给我齐天的洪福，没有言语能表达我的心意，惟有没头拜颂你的恩泽和威力！”
