O cows, make my body lean yet glorious, and make it famed, gracious and close; make my house prosperous, speak auspicious words; great is what is called you in assemblies.
Do you, cows, give us nourisment; render the emaciated, the unlovely body the reverse; do you, whose lowing is auspicious, make my dwelling prosperous; great is the abundance that is attributed to you in religious assemblies.
O Cows, ye fatten e'en the worn and wasted, and make the unlovely beautiful tolook on. Prosper my house, ye with auspicious voices. Your power is glorified in our assemblies.
