1 Grant us Your strong protection, O Mighty and All-Seeing, our people, and our family, for worship.

May we subdue in fight our evil-hearted foes, him who attacks the man steadfast in lengthened rites.

2 O Mighty and All-Seeing, very rich, One of Your names is Monarch and One Autocrat.

All the angels in the most lofty region of the air have, O ye Steers, acknowledged all power and might in You.

3 You with Your strength have pierced the fountains of the floods: the sun have You brought forward as the lamp in heaven.

Cheered by this gift You made the dry places stream, made songs of praise flow forth.

4 In battles and in frays we ministering priests, kneeling upon our knees for furtherance of our weal,

Invoke You, only You, the Lord of twofold wealth, You prompt to hear, we bards, O God.

6 That the All-Seeing One's high worth may shine pre-eminent, His attributes have each their proper power and might.

The One subdueth the destructive enemy; the Other with a few furthereth many a man.

7 No trouble, no misfortune, O Mighty and All-Seeing, no woe from any side assails the mortal man

Whose devotion, O God, You accept and enjoy: ne'er doth the crafty guile of mortal injure him.

8 With Your divine protection, Heroes, come to us: mine invocation hear, if You be pleased therewith.

Bestow upon us, O God, Your friendship and Your kinship and Your favouring grace.

9 In battle after battle, O God, be You our Champion, You who are the peoples' strength,

When both opposing bands invoke You for the fight, and men that they may gain offspring and progeny.

10 May God the Mighty, the All-Seeing, the Friend, and the Lord of kindness vouchsafe us glory and great shelter spreading far.

We think of the beneficent light of boundless mercy, and the song of praise to God the Light-giver, who strengthens Law.
