O gods, fight for you as if in armor; you are great, not of envy; you overcome hostile forces; O exalted ones, O heralds, be gracious to us.
Deities, may we abide in you as warriors in their armour; do you defend us from great evil, do youdefend us from litt;e your aids are void of harm, your aids are true aids.
Resting in you, O Gods, we are like men who fight in coats of mail. Ye guard us from each great offence, ye guard us from each lighter fault.
