I — God the Mighty

1 Praise, even as He is known, with song the guardian of the kine, the Lord of Truth, Lord of the brave.

2 Hither have His bay steeds been sent, red steeds are on the sacred grass where we in concert sing our songs.

3 For the thunder-armed, the kine have yielded mingled milk and sweetness, what time He found them in the vault.

II — God the Mighty

1 Draw near unto our Lord who must be invoked in every fight! Come, Thou most mighty overcomer of evil, meet for praise, come to offerings and to hymns.

2 Thou art the best of all in sending bounteous gifts, true art Thou, lordly in Thine act. We claim alliance with the very glorious One, yea, with the mighty Giver of strength.

III — The Purifying Provision of God

1 They have drained forth from out the great depth of the sky the old divine primeval milk that claims the laud: they lifted up their voice to the Mighty at His decree.

2 Then, beautifully radiant, certain heavenly ones proclaimed their kinship with him as they looked thereon: the Light-giver opens, as it were, the fold of heaven.

3 And now that thou, O Purifier, art above this earth and heaven and all existence in thy might, thou shinest like a bull supreme among the herd.

IV — God the Radiant

1 O God, graciously announce this our good fortune to the angels, and this our newest hymn of praise!

2 Thou dealest gifts, resplendent One! nigh, as with wave of the river, Thou swift streamest to the worshipper.

3 Give us a share of wealth most high, a share of wealth most near to us, a share of wealth that is between.

V — God the Mighty

1 I from my Lord have obtained deep knowledge of eternal Law; I was born like unto the sun.

2 After the ancient manner I, like the faithful, beautify my songs, and the Mighty's power is gained thereby.

3 Whatever sages have not praised Thee, O Mighty, or have praised Thee, wax mighty indeed when praised by me!

VI — God the Radiant

1 O God, produced by strength, do Thou with all Thy lights accept our prayer: with those that are with the angels, with those that are with men exalt our songs!

2 Forth come to us with all His lights that God, whose the mighty are, come, fully girt about with wealth for us and for our kith and kin!

3 Do Thou, O God, with Thy lights strengthen our prayer and worship: incite them to bestow their wealth to aid our service of the righteous!

VII — The Purifying Provision of God

1 Some, the men of old whose grass was trimmed, addressed the hymn to Thee for mighty strength and for renown: so, hero, urge us onward to heroic power!

2 All round about hast thou with glory pierced for us as 'twere a never-failing well for men to drink, borne on thy way as 'twere in fragments from both arms.

3 Thou didst produce him, deathless one! for mortal man, for maintenance of Law and lovely everlasting life: thou evermore hast moved making wealth flow to us.

VIII — God the Mighty

1 Pour out the drops for the Mighty; let Him receive the sweetness of the gift! He through His majesty sends forth His bounteous gifts.

2 I spake to the bay coursers' Lord, to Him who grants the boon, of wealth: now hear the son as he praises Thee!

3 Never was any hero born before Thee mightier than Thou: none certainly like Thee in riches and in praise.

IX — God the Mighty

1 Thou wishest for Thy kine a bull, lord of Thy cows whom none may kill, for those who long for His approach, for those who turn away from Him.

X — God the Radiant

1 May the God who giveth wealth accept your full offering poured to Him! Pour ye it out, then fill the vessel full again, for so the God regardeth you!

2 The angels made him the guide of worship, bearer of offerings, passing wise. God gives wealth and valour to the worshipper, to man who offers up his gifts.

XI — God the Radiant

1 He hath appeared, best prosperer, in whom men lay their holy acts: so may our songs of praise come nigh to God, who was born to give the faithful strength.

2 Him before whom the people shrink when He performs His glorious deeds, Him who wins thousands in worship, Himself, that God, reverence with songs!

3 The Light of God comes forth like the Mighty in His might. Rapidly hath it moved along its mother earth; it stands in high heaven's dwelling-place.

XII — God the Radiant

1 O God, Thou pourest life: send down upon us food and vigorous strength: drive Thou misfortune far away!

2 God is the Purifier, Sage, Chief of all the fivefold tribes; to Him whose wealth is great we pray.

3 Skilled in Thy task, O God, pour splendour with hero strength on us, granting me wealth that nourishes!

XIII — God the Radiant

1 O God, holy and divine with splendour and Thy pleasant tongue, bring Thou the righteous and worship them!

2 We pray Thee bathed in butter, O bright-rayed! who lookest on the sun, bring the righteous hither to the feast!

3 Sage, we have kindled Thee, the bright, the receiver of offerings, Thee, O God, great in worship!

XIV — God the Radiant

1 Adorable in all our prayers, favour us, O God, with Thine aid, what time the psalm is chanted forth!

2 Bring to us ever-conquering wealth, wealth, O God, worthy of our choice, invincible in all our frays!

3 Grant us, O God, through Thy grace wealth to support us evermore, Thy favour so that we may live!

XV — God the Radiant

1 Let songs of ours speed Him forth like a fleet courser in the race, and we will win each prize through Him.

2 O God, the host whereby we gain kine for ourselves with help from Thee—that send us for the gain of wealth!

3 O God, bring us wealth secure, vast wealth in horses and in kine: oil Thou the socket, turn the wheel!

4 O God, Thou hast made the sun, the eternal star, to mount the sky, giving the boon of light to men.

5 Thou, O God, art the people's light, best, dearest, seated in Thy shrine: watch for the singer, give him life!

XVI — God the Radiant

1 God is head and height of heaven, the Master of the earth is He: He quickeneth the waters' seed.

2 Yea, O God, Thou as Lord of light rulest o'er choicest gifts; may I, Thy singer, find defence in Thee.

3 Upward, O God, rise Thy flames, pure and resplendent, blazing high, Thy lustres, fair effulgences.
