The reflexive pronoun sav~s, etc. generally refers to the sub­ject of the sentence, whatever person the subject may be. There­fore in English it may be translated as 'myself, yourself, himself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves' depending upon whether the subject is 1st, 2nd or 3rd person and whether it is singular or plural.
