1 May God the Radiant, who destroys the demons, bless and shelter us from greedy fiends who rise in troops at night-time when the moon is dark.

2 The blessing of God the All-Seeing hath blessed our defence, and God the Light strengthens it. God the Mighty hath given me this defence: this verily repels the fiends.

3 This overcomes the racking pain, this drives the voracious fiends away: by means of this have I overthrown all the demon brood.

4 If thou destroy a cow of ours, a human being, or a steed, we pierce thee with this piece of lead so that thou mayst not slay our men.
