Holder of sway, shine here refulgent, O God! invincible, immortal, All-Knowing. With succours friendly to mankind, auspicious, driving away all maladies, guard our dwelling.

2 Thou, O Mighty, lord and leader of the people, wast born for lovely strength and high dominion. Thou drovest off the folk who were unfriendly, and madest wide room and freedom.

3 Like a dread wild beast roaming on the mountain, may He approach us from the farthest distance.

4 Whetting Thy bolt and Thy sharp blade, O God, crush down our foes and scatter those who hate us.
