1 Let not the enemy win the cause! Strong and predominant art thou. Refute mine adversary's speech. Render them dull and flat, O Plant.
2 The strong-winged bird discovered thee, the boar unearthed thee with his snout. Refute mine adversary's speech. Render them dull and flat, O Plant.
3 Yea, the Mighty laid thee on his arm, to cast the demons to the ground. Refute mine adversary's speech. Render them dull and flat, O Plant.
4 The Mighty devoured the Pata plant that he might lay the demons low. Refute mine adversary's speech. Render them dull and flat, O Plant.
5 With this I overcome my foes as the Mighty overcame the wolves. Refute mine adversary's speech! Render them dull and flat, O Plant.
6 O Lord of Healing Balms, dark-crested, skilful in Thy work!--Refute mine adversary's speech. Render them dull and flat, O Plant.
7 O Mighty One, defeat the speech of him who meets us with hostility. Comfort us with Thy power and might. Make me superior in debate.
