1 May the Waters, the golden-hued, the bright, the splendid, wherein the sun rises and the lightning shines, the fair-coloured Waters that bear the fire as a germ, bring felicity and bless us!

2 The Waters in the midst whereof God, the King, watcheth, viewing men's righteous and unrighteous dealing, they that bear the fire as a germ, fair-coloured, those Waters bring felicity and bless us!

3 The Waters which are a provision in heaven, which wax manifold in air's mid-region, they that bear the fire as a germ, fair-coloured, those Waters bring felicity and bless us!

4 Ye Waters, by God's leave, with auspicious eye behold me: touch ye my skin with your auspicious body. May they, the bright and pure, distilling fatness, those Waters, bring felicity and bless us.
