When their lips uttered the name of God the Mighty, the sages gave us this remedy, which in the earliest time God made a cure for the pains of shoulder and neck.

2 So may this remedy guard us, even as a treasurer guards wealth, this which God and the learned made a malice-quelling sure defence.

3 Hard-hearted men, the cruel eye, the sinner who hath come to us, destroy these with watchful care, O God the All-Seeing. Thou art my defence.

4 Guard me from earth and guard me from the heavens, guard me from middle air, from plants protect me. Protect me from the present and the future. From every region may God preserve us!

5 All sorcerers, all that arise from mortal men, there, one and all, let God, healer of all, make impotent.
