If I examine myself, I find no good qualities; Your mercy is the essence of my existence. If you are not merciful, then bitterly weeping I will no longer maintain my life. or
I find noqualifications in me; your mercy is the quintessence of my life. Without your mercy, I will give up my life weeping bitterly.
