1 This day with praises, O God, we bring Thee that which Thou lovest, right judgment, like a horse, with our devotions.

2 For Thou hast ever been the Car-driver, O God, of noble strength, lofty worship, and rightful judgment.

3 Through these our praises come Thou to meet us, bright as the sunlight, O God, well disposed, with all Thine aspects.

4 Now may we serve Thee singing these lauds this day to Thee, O God. Loud as the voice of heaven Thy blasts are roaring.

5 Just at this time of the day and the night Thy look is the sweetest. It shineth near us even as gold for glory.

6 Spotless Thy glory, brilliant as gold, like clarified butter: this gleams like gold on Thee, O Self-dependent.

7 All hate and mischief, yea, if committed, O God, Thou turnest, Holy One, from the man who rightly worships.

8 O God, with Thy righteous servants, prosperous be our friendships and kinships. Be this our bond here by this place of worship.
