1-12 Hero, august youth, who completely controls the distant mountains as far as their borders! Martu, august servant of God, who completely controls the distant mountains as far as their borders, who possesses the strength of a savage lion, who occupies a holy dais in the mountains, the pure place! Martu, who is imbued with great fearsomeness, whom God created, who appears gloriously with numerous powers! God gave him enormous limbs for his form, so that no one should threaten him. The angels, the great ones, enhanced his strength with warrior qualities, and spoke favourably to him. They invested him with authority that accompanies him in battle like a coat of armour; a mace, a weapon, a great bow, arrows and quiver were placed in his august hands, and he was left with no adversaries.

The Lord of all, the One who decides destinies, handed the distant sky and the broad earth into the care of this fierce servant who gives just verdicts, who is knowledgeable in decision-making, an adviser; and he let him have no rivals. God presented to him the pure hills, the lapis-lazuli mountains; He presented to him the Martu lands, the lapis-lazuli mountains.

O God, who strengthened your servant, it is sweet to praise You!
