Plain text of Part of a Hymn to God the Wise (K. 3,351)

1 O Lord, son of the exalted [ . . . ], the exalted [ . . . ],

2 Who [ . . . ] the hosts of heaven and earth, who ordaineth destinies!

6 O Lord, thou ruler, mighty in understanding!

7 [The . . . ] of war and battle is in the hand of God, the Director of the angels,

8 At whose power the heavens quaked,

9 At whose wrath the Deep is troubled!

10 At the point of His weapon the hosts of rebels turned back!

11 To His furious attack there was no opponent!

12 O mighty Lord, to whom there is no rival in the assembly of the great ones!

13 In the bright firmament of heaven His course is supreme!

14 In the house of true worship exalted is His decree!

15 With the evil wind His weapons blaze forth,

16 With His flame steep mountains are destroyed!

17 He overwhelmeth the expanse of the billowing ocean!

18 The Hero of the angels is His title!

19 From the depth He is Lord of the dwellings of men!

20 Before His terrible bow the heavens stand fast!

21 [ . . . ] plague and destruction, and tempest,

22 [ . . . ]
