May God the Provider, God the All-Seeing, the King, and the two helpers, and the angel of death, and the Nourisher, guard us well from Death caused by men, which God the Mighty and the Radiant, the Sustainer, the Lord of Prayer and the Light-giver appointed.

2 All that the Lord of the world made, all that for creatures the Lord of creatures and the Sustainer of the winds fashioned, all things within the quarters and their spaces, let all these be my manifold defences.

3 That which the angels bestowed on them when they battled for their royal sway, what God the Mighty made a shield, may that protect us well on every side.

4 My shield is heaven and earth, my shield is the bright day, my shield the sun. The angels, by God's command, made my shield. Let not misfortune fall on me.
