I give praise to Thee, O Lord my God! I entreat
Thee by Thy Name through which Thou didst cause
the dawn to appear, and the winds to blow, and the
seas to surge, and the trees to bring forth their fruits,
and the earth to be beautified with its rivers, that
Thou wilt aid all them that are dear to Thee with
both Thy visible and invisible hosts. Render them,
moreover, victorious over all those who have so rebelled
in Thy land, and dishonored Thy name, and
disbelieved in Thy signs, and broken Thy Covenant,
and cast behind their backs Thy laws, and have to
such an extent risen up against Thee, that they carried
into captivity Thy kindred, and flung the Manifestation
of Thy Self into prison, and immured Him
Who is the Day-Spring of Thine Essence in the most
desolate of cities.
