Couples desirous of Thine aid are calling on Thee, pouring their presents forth to win a stall of kine, pouring gifts, O God, seeking Thee. When two men seeking spoil or heaven Thou bringest face to face in war, Thou showest, O God, then the bolt, Thy constant sign of power.

2 This Thine heroic power full well the people knew, wherewith Thou brakest down, O God, autumnal forts, brakest them down with conquering might. Thou hast chastised, O Lord of strength, the man who worships not, and made Thine own this great earth and these water-floods, with joyous heart these water-floods.

3 And they have bruited far this hero might, when Thou, O Strong One, holpest Thy suppliants who sought Thy favour. Their battle-cry Thou madest sound victorious in the shocks of war. One stream after another have they gained from Thee, eager for glory have they gained.
