1 I travel with the angels in their ranks, with all the hosts of heaven I wander;

By God's command I hold aloft the attributes of the Friend and the All-Seeing, the Mighty and the Healers.

2 I am the Word of God, the gatherer-up of treasures, most thoughtful.

By His will I have been made to enter many places, in divers spots hath He set mine habitation.

3 I, verily, by God's leave announce and utter the word that angels and men alike shall welcome.

I make the man whom God loves exceeding mighty, make him a sage, a seer, a scholar.

4 By God's provision all eat the food that feeds them, each man who sees, breathes, hears the word out-spoken.

They know it not, but yet they dwell beside me. Hear, one and all, the truth as I declare it.

5 By God's command the arrow strikes and slays the hater of devotion.

By His leave I rouse and order battle for the people, and I have penetrated earth and heaven.

6 By His grace I cherish and sustain the plants of provision, and the craftsmen.

I load with wealth the zealous worshipper who pours out his devotion and offers his gift.

7 On the world's summit I proclaim the Lord: my home is in the waters, in the ocean.

Thence I extend o'er all existing creatures, and reach even yonder heaven.

8 By God's command I breathe a strong breath like the wind and tempest, the while I hold together all existence.

Beyond this wide earth and beyond the heavens I have become so mighty, by His grace, in my grandeur.
