Let not the serpent slay us, O God, with our children and our folk. Let it not close the opened mouth nor open that which now is closed.

2 We seek refuge in God from the black, from that with stripes across, from the brown viper, and from the demon brood.

3 I close together fang with fang, I close together jaw with jaw. I close together tongue with tongue, I close together mouth with mouth.
