1 Who of the Sustainers saveth? who protecteth? O heaven and earth and Boundless One, preserve us, All-Seeing, Friend, from the stronger mortal. Angels, which of you at worship giveth comfort?

2 They who with laud extol the ancient statutes, when they shine forth infallible dividers, have ordered as perpetual Ordainers, and beamed as holy-thoughted Wonder-Workers.

3 The Boundless One, the Mistress of the house, and the river, and well-being, I implore for friendship: and may the unobstructed night and morning both, day and night, provide for our protection.

4 The Upholder of Law and the All-Seeing have disclosed the pathway, the Radiant One as Lord of Strength the road to welfare. Lauded in manly mode may the Mighty and the All-Pervading grant us their powerful defence and shelter.

5 I have besought the favour of the storm-angels, of the mountain, of the Bountiful God who rescues. From trouble caused by man may the Lord preserve us; from woe sent by his friend let the Friend save us.

6 Agree, through these our watery offerings, heaven and earth. As if to win the sea, the warmth-bringers have opened, as they come anear, the rivers.

7 May the Boundless One with the angels defend us, save us the saving God with care unceasing. We dare not stint the sacred food of the Friend and the All-Seeing upon the back of the fire.

8 The Radiant One is Sovereign Lord of wealth, the Radiant One of great prosperity: may He bestow these gifts on us.

9 Hither to us, rich pleasant dawn, bring many things to be desired, thou who hast ample store of wealth.

10 So then may the Bountiful, the Light-giver, the All-Seeing, the Friend, the Upholder, the Mighty come to us with bounty.
