1 With this my reverent hymn I call upon God for you, the Son of Strength, Dear, wisest envoy, served with noble worship, immortal messenger of all.

2 His two red horses, all-supporting, let him yoke: let him, well-worshipped, urge them fast.

Then hath the worship good prayers and happy end, and heavenly gift of wealth to men.

3 The flame of Him the Bountiful, the Much-invoked, hath mounted up,

And His red-coloured smoke-clouds reach and touch the sky: the men are kindling the fire well.

4 Thee, Thee Most Glorious One we make our intercessor with the righteous, by Thy leave. Bring the righteous hither to the feast.

Give us, O Son of Strength, all food that feedeth man: give that for which we pray to Thee.

5 Thou, O God, art the homestead's Lord, our Herald at the worship.

Lord of all boons, Thou art the Cleanser and a Sage. Pay worship, and enjoy the good.

6 Give riches to the one who offers, O Most Wise, for Thou art He who granteth wealth.

Inspire with zeal each priest at this our solemn rite; all who are skilled in singing praise.

7 O Thou who art worshipped well, dear let our princes be to Thee,

Our wealthy patrons who are governors of men, who part, as gifts, their stalls of kine.

8 They in whose home, her hand bearing the sacred oil, devotion sits down well-satisfied,

Guard them, Victorious God, from slander and from harm, give us a refuge famed afar.

9 Do Thou, a Priest with pleasant tongue, most wise, and very near to us,

O God, bring riches hither to our liberal chiefs, and speed the offering of our gifts.

10 They who bestow as bounty plenteous wealth of steeds, moved by desire of great renown,

Do Thou with saving help preserve them from distress, Most Youthful! with a hundred forts.

11 The God who gives your wealth demands a full gift poured to Him.

Pour ye it forth, then fill the vessel full again: then doth God pay heed to you.

12 Him have the righteous appointed Priest of worship, bearer of offerings, passing wise.

God gives wealth and valour to the worshipper, to folk who offer up their gifts.
