Plain text of Hymn 9
1 May God the Mighty, the Nourisher, the All-Seeing, the Friend, the Radiant, benignant, maintain this man in riches. May the angels and all the powers that serve God set and support him in supremest lustre.
2 May light, O servants of God, be under his dominion, the fire, the Sun, all that is bright and golden. Prostrate beneath our feet his foes and rivals. Uplift him to the loftiest cope of heaven.
3 Through that most mighty prayer, O All-Knowing, wherewith Thou broughtest milk to strengthen the Mighty One, even therewith exalt this man, O God, and give him highest rank among his kinsmen.
4 I have assumed their offering, O God, their hopes, their glory, and their riches' fulness. Prostrate beneath our feet his foes and rivals. Uplift him to the loftiest cope of heaven.
