In the name of God. Glory to God!

I — The Purifying Provision of God

1 Sing forth, O men, to Him who now is purified, fain to pay worship to God!

2 Together with thy pleasant juice the righteous have commingled milk, divine, God-loving, for the glory of God.

3 Bring health to cattle with thy flow, health to the people, health to steeds, health, O thou King, to growing plants!

II — The Purifying Provision of God

1 Bright are these streams blent with milk, with light that flashes brilliantly, and form that shouteth all around.

2 Roused by his drivers and sent forth, the strong Steed hath come: nigh for spoil, as warriors when they stand arrayed.

3 Specially, O Sage, by day, coming together for our weal, like the sun, flow for us to see!

III — The Purifying Provision of God

1 The streams of the Purifier, thine, Sage, mighty one, have poured them forth, like coursers eager for renown.

2 They have been poured upon the fleece towards the sweetness-distilling vat: the holy songs have rung aloud.

3 Like milch-kine coming home, the drops have reached the lake, have reached the place of worship.

IV — God the Radiant

1 Come, O God, praised with song to our devotion and offerings: be present among us on the holy grass!

2 So, O God, we make thee strong with fuel and with holy oil. Blaze high, O Eternal One!

3 For us Thou winnest, O God, heroic strength exceeding great, far-spreading and of high renown.

V — God the Friend and the All-Seeing

1 O All-Seeing and Friend, sapient pair, pour fatness on our pastures, pour sweetness on the regions of the air!

2 Gladdened by homage, ruling far, ye reign by majesty of might, pure in your ways, for evermore.

3 Lauded by the singer's song, abide in the place of worship: accept the gift, ye who strengthen Law!

VI — God the Mighty

1 Come, we have prepared the offering for Thee; O Mighty, accept this here: sit Thou on this my sacred grass!

2 O Mighty One, let Thy long-maned bays, yoked by prayer, bring Thee hitherward! Give ear and listen to our prayers!

3 We who bring offerings, we scholars call Thee with Thy friend, we, O Mighty, bringing the offering.

VII — God the Mighty and the Radiant

1 O Mighty and Radiant, moved by songs, come to the juice, the precious dew: accept ye thereof, impelled by prayer!

2 O Mighty and Radiant, with the man who lauds comes visible worship: so accept ye both this flowing juice!

3 With force of worship I seek the Mighty and the Radiant who love the wise: with this gift let them be pleased here!

VIII — The Purifying Provision of God

1 High is the birth of thy juice: though set in heaven, on earth it hath obtained dread sheltering power and great renown.

2 Finder of room and freedom, flow for the Mighty whom we must adore, for the All-Seeing and the host of angels!

3 Striving to win, with him we gain all riches from the enemy, yea, all the glories of mankind.

IX — The Purifying Provision of God

1 Cleansing thee in thy stream, thou flowest in watery robe. Giver of wealth, thou sittest in the place of Law, a fountain made of gold.

2 He, milking for dear sweetness the heavenly udder, hath sat in the ancient gathering-place. Washed by the men, far-sighted, strong, thou streamest to thy honourable reservoir.

X — The Purifying Provision of God

1 Run onward to the reservoir and seat thee: cleansed by the men speed forward to the battle. Making thee glossy like an able courser, forth to the sacred grass with reins they lead thee.

2 The well-armed gift is flowing onward, which averts the curse and guards the homesteads: from God, Creator of the angels, most skilful, the buttress of the heavens and earth's supporter.

XI — God the Mighty

1 Like kine unmilked we call aloud, hero, to Thee, and sing Thy praise, Looker on heavenly light, Lord of this moving world, Lord of what moveth not.

2 None other like to Thee, of earth or of the heavens, hath been or ever will be born. Desiring horses, O Bountiful, and kine, as men of might we call on Thee.

XII — God the Mighty

1 With what help will He come to us, wonderful, ever-waxing friend? With what most mighty company?

2 What genuine and most liberal draught will spirit Thee with juice to burst open e'en strongly-guarded wealth?

3 Do Thou who art protector of us Thy friends who praise Thee with hundred aids approach us!

XIII — God the Mighty

1 As cows low to their calves in stalls, so with our songs we glorify this Lord, even your wondrous God who checks attack, who takes delight in precious gifts.

2 Celestial, bounteous giver, girt about with might, rich, mountain-like, in pleasant things—Him swift we seek for foodful booty rich in kine, brought hundredfold and thousandfold.

XIV — God the Mighty

1 Loud-singing at the sacred rite we invoke with haste, that He may help, as the bard's cherisher, the Mighty One who findeth wealth for you.

2 Whom, fair of cheek, in rapture of the juice, the firm resistless slayers hinder not: Giver of glorious wealth to him who sings His praise, honouring him who toils and gives.

XV — The Purifying Provision of God

1 In sweetest and most gladdening stream flow pure on thy way, pressed out for the Mighty, for His drink!

2 Fiend-queller, friend of all men, he hath reached his shrine, his dwelling-place, within the iron-hammered vat.

3 Be thou best overcomer of evil, best granter of room, most liberal: promote our wealthy princes' gifts!

XVI — The Purifying Provision of God

1 For the Mighty flow on, as most inspiring drink, most rich in sweets, great, most celestial, gladdening drink!

2 Thou of whom having drunk the Steer acts like a steer: having drunk this that finds the light, he, excellently wise, hath come anear to food and booty.

XVII — God the Mighty

1 To the Mighty, to the mighty let these golden-coloured juices go, drops born as Law prescribes, that find the light of heaven!

2 This juice that gathers spoil flows, pressed, for the Mighty, for his maintenance. It bethinks itself of the conqueror, as he knows.

3 Yea, in the joys of this the Mighty obtains the grasp that gathers spoil, and, winning waters, wields the mighty thunderbolt.

XVIII — The Purifying Provision of God

1 For first possession of your juice, for the exhilarating drink, drive ye away the dog, my friends, drive ye the long-tongued dog away!

2 He who with purifying stream, effused, comes flowing hitherward, is like an able steed.

3 With prayer all-reaching let the men tend the unassailable gift: be the stones prepared for the worship!

XIX — The Purifying Provision of God

1 Graciously-minded he is flowing on his way to win dear names o'er which the youthful one grows great. The mighty and far-seeing one hath mounted now the mighty sun's car which moves to every side.

2 The speaker, unassailable master of this prayer, the tongue of worship, pours forth the pleasant sweetness. As son he sets the name of mother and of sire in the far distance, in the third bright realm of heaven.

3 Sending forth flashes he hath bellowed to the jars, led by the men into the golden reservoir. The milkers of the offering have sung to him: Lord of three heights, thou shinest brightly o'er the Dawns.

XX — God the Radiant

1 Sing to your Lord with each song, at every act of worship for strength! Come, let us praise the wise and everlasting God, even as a well-beloved friend.

2 The Giver of strength; for is He not our gracious Lord? Let us serve Him who bears our gifts! In battles may He be our help and strengthener, yea, be the saviour of our lives!

XXI — God the Radiant

1 O God, come; far other songs of praise will I sing forth to Thee. Wax mighty in Thy bounty!

2 Where'er Thy mind applies itself, vigour preeminent hast Thou: there wilt Thou gain a dwelling-place.

3 Not for a moment only lasts Thy bounty, Lord of many men: our service therefore shalt Thou gain.

XXII — God the Mighty

1 We call on Thee, O matchless One. We, seeking help, possessing nothing firm ourselves, call on Thee, wondrous, thunder-armed.

2 On Thee for aid in worship, this youth of ours, the bold, the terrible, hath gone forth. We therefore, we Thy friends, O Mighty, have chosen Thee, spoil-winner, as our succourer.

XXIII — God the Mighty

1 So, O friend of song, do we draw near to Thee with longing; we have streamed to Thee coming like floods that follow floods.

2 As rivers swell the ocean, so, hero, our prayers increase Thy praise, though of Thyself, O Thunderer, waxing day by day.

3 With holy song they bind to the broad wide-yoked car the bay steeds of the quickening God, bearers of the Mighty, yoked by word.
