3 O heaven and earth, signs of God, may I duly prepare for you this day, on the place of earth where the righteous worshipped, that which is offered for God's sake.

14 Germ of creation, Father of hymns, all living creatures' guardian Lord,

Radiant, with the radiant Light-giver united, with the sun He shines.

15 God, the Light, combined with flaming fire, combined with the Light-giver divine, hath shone together with the sun.

16 He shines on earth, upholder of the sky and heat, the righteous ones' upholder, God, immortal, born of heat.

To Him address a speech devoted to God.

17 I saw the Herdsman, Him who never stumbles, approaching by His pathways and departing.

He, clothed with gathered and diffusive splendour, within the worlds continually travels.

18 Lord of all earths, Lord of all mind, Lord of all speech, Thou Lord of speech entire,

Heard by the angels, Thou protect the righteous.

19 For the heart, for the mind, for the sky, for the sun.

Standing erect lay thou the worship in heaven among the righteous.

20 Thou art our Lord, as a father regard us. Obeisance be to Thee. Do not Thou harm us.

Vouchsafe me sons and cattle. Grant us offspring. Safe may I be together with my husband.

21 May day together with his sheen, fair-lighted with his light, accept.

May night together with her sheen, fair-lighted with her light, accept.
