On thee I bind this band of grass for lengthened life and brilliancy, trusting in God, that He may burn up the malice of the rival and foe.

2 Burning the spirit of the foe, vexing the heart of enemies, may God, on every side, like heat, inflame the remorse of all evil-hearted men.

3 O God, burning round like heat, consuming foes, like the Mighty One rending the demon who withheld the waters, break asunder the plots of mine adversaries.

4 Break through, O God, my foes', mine adversaries' purposes. Rise Thou and batter down their pride like growth that covereth the earth.

5 Break, O God, my rivals, break the men who fain would fight with me. Break all who wish me evil, break the men who hate me!

6 Wound, O God, the power of my rivals; wound all who wish me evil, wound the men who hate me!

7 Tear, O God, the plots of my rivals; tear all who wish me evil, the men who hate me!

8 Hew down, O God, my rivals' designs; hew all who wish me evil, the men who hate me!

9 Carve away, O God, my rivals' strength; carve all who wish me evil, the men who hate me!

10 Pierce, O God, my rivals' schemes, pierce the men who fain would fight with me. Pierce those who wish me evil, pierce the men who hate me!
