1 Provision unoffered ne'er gladdened the liberal Mighty One, no gifts without a prayer have pleased Him.

I generate a laud that shall delight Him, new and heroic, so that He may hear us.

2 At every laud the thanksgiving gladdens God: gifts please Him as each psalm is chanted,

What time the priests with one united effort call Him to aid, as sons invoke their father.

3 These deeds He did; let Him achieve new exploits, such as the priests declare at their gatherings.

God hath taken and possessed all castles, as a ruler holds his realm.

4 Even thus have they declared Him. Famed is God as Conqueror, sole distributer of treasures;

Whose many succours come in close succession. May dear delightful benefits attend us.

5 Thus, to bring help to men, Vasistha laudeth God, the peoples' Hero, in thanksgiving.

Bestow upon us strength and wealth in thousands. Preserve us evermore with blessings.
