1 Wise and devout, the skilful men bind plough-ropes fast, and lay the yokes on either side.

2 Lay on the yokes and fasten well the traces: formed is the furrow, sow the seed within it. O God, vouchsafe us hearing fraught with plenty! Let the ripe grain come near and near the sickle.

3 The keen-shared plough that bringeth bliss, furnished with traces and with stilts, shear out for me a cow, a sheep, a rapid drawer of the car, abundance plump and strong!

4 May God the Mighty press the furrow down, may God the Nourisher guard and cherish her. May she, well stored with milk, yield milk for us through each succeeding year.
