Praise be to Thee, O Lord my God! Thou seest my tears and lamentations,
and hearest my sighing, my cry and bitter wailing. I am the one, O my
Lord, that hath held fast the cord of Thy mercy which hath surpassed the
entire creation. I am the one that hath clung to the hem of Thy
loving-kindness, O Thou in Whose hand is the empire of all names!
Have mercy upon me and upon all them that are in my company, through the
wonders of Thy grace and power. Shield us, then, O my God, from the
mischief of Thine enemies, and assist us to help Thy Faith, and to protect
Thy Cause, and to celebrate Thy glory. Thou art, verily, He Who from
everlasting hath inhabited the inaccessible heights of His unity, and will
continue to remain the same for ever and ever. Nothing whatsoever escapeth
Thy knowledge, nor is there anything that can frustrate Thee. No God is
there beside Thee, the Almighty, the Ever-Faithful, the Most Exalted, the
All-Glorious, the Best-Beloved.
Lauded and glorified art Thou, in Whose hand is the empire of all things!
