1 And now in these Thy dispensations, O Wise Lord, do Thou wisely act for us, and with abundance

in accordance with Thy bounty and Thy tenderness toward us; and grant that reward which Thou hast appointed to our souls, O God, the Wise Lord! 2. Of this do Thou Thyself bestow upon us for this world and the spiritual; and now as part thereof (do Thou grant) that we may attain to Thy nearness, and to Thy Righteousness for all duration.

3 And do Thou grant us, O Lord! men who are righteous, and both lovers and producers of the Right as well. And give us trained beasts for the pastures, broken in for riding, and for bearing, (that they may be) in helpful companionship with us, and as a source of long enduring vigour, and a means of rejoicing grace to us for this.

4 So let there be a kinsman lord for us, with the labourers of the village, and so likewise let there be the clients (or the peers). And by the help of those may we arise.

So may we be to Thee, O Wise Lord! holy and true, and with free giving of our gifts.
