1 Looking to You and Your alliance, O ye Men, armed with broad axes they went forward, fain for spoil.

Ye smote and slew his foes, the enemies who denied and who opposed, and helped Sudas with favour, O God.

2 Where heroes come together with their banners raised, in the encounter where is naught for us to love,

Where all things that behold the light are terrified, there did You comfort us, O God.

3 The boundaries of earth were seen all dark with dust: O God, the shout went up to heaven.

The enmities of the people compassed me about. You heard my calling and You came to me with help.

4 With Your resistless weapons, O God, You conquered Bheda and You gave Sudas Your aid.

You heard the prayers of these amid the cries of war: effectual was the service of the Trtsus' priest.

5 O God, the wickedness of foes and mine assailants' hatred sorely trouble me.

You are Lord of riches both of earth and heaven: so grant to us Your aid on the decisive day.

6 The men of both the hosts invoked You in the fight, O God, that they might win the wealth,

What time You helped Sudas, with all the Trtsu folk, when the Ten Kings had pressed him down in their attack.

7 Ten Kings who worshipped not, O God, confederate, in war prevailed not o'er Sudas.

True was the boast of heroes sitting at the feast: so at their invocations God was on their side.

8 O God, You gave Sudas Your aid when the Ten Kings in battle compassed him about,

There where the white-robed Trtsus with their braided hair, skilled in song worshipped You with homage and with hymn.

9 One of Your attributes destroys the oppressors in the fight, the Other evermore maintains His holy Laws.

We call on You, O Mighty, with our hymns of praise. Vouchsafe us Your protection, O God.

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.
