1 Bring forth your song of praise to mighty God, the speedy messenger of earth and heaven,

The Lord of all mankind, who, with those who wake, hath waxen great in the lap of all the angels.

2 Sought in the heavens, on earth the fire is established, leader of rivers, Bull of standing waters.

When He hath grown in glory, He shines on the tribes of men with light and treasure.

3 For fear of Thee forth fled the dark-hued races, scattered abroad, deserting their possessions,

When, glowing, O Lord of all mankind, for Puru, Thou didst light up and rend their castles.

4 O God, Lord of all mankind, both Earth and Heaven submit them to Thy threefold jurisdiction.

Refulgent in Thine undecaying lustre Thou hast invested both the worlds with splendour.

5 O God, the tawny horses, loudly neighing, our resonant hymns that drop with oil, attend Thee;

Lord of the tribes, our Charioteer of riches, Ensign of days, Lord of the mornings.

6 In Thee, O bright as the Friend, the servants set the might of the Lord, for they loved Thy spirit.

Thou drovest the wicked from their home, O God, and broughtest forth broad light to light the noble.

7 Born in the loftiest heaven Thou in a moment reachest, like wind, the place where the angels dwell.

Thou, favouring Thine offspring, roaredst loudly when giving life to creatures, O Knower of all that is born.

8 Send us that strength, O Lord of all mankind, send it, that strength, full of splendour,

Wherewith, all-bounteous God, Thou pourest riches, as fame wide-spreading, on the man who offers.

9 O God, bestow upon our chiefs and nobles that famous power, that wealth which feedeth many.

Accordant with the angels and the Healers, give us sure protection.
