I win the love of God, that His friend may reach yet higher state. Increase, as rain the grass, this man's dominion and his lofty fame.

2 Confirm the princely power in him, O God! grant him wealth. In all the circuit of his rule make him yet higher for Thy friend.

3 The man who shows us enmity, whether a stranger or akin, Thou wilt give up entire to me who give in Thy name.
