In the waves of the stormy seas, you are the helper of those
who call upon God. I ask you, out of your goodness
aforesaid, to illuminate us and our sons and our associates
with your light, and to deign to help with your high and
honored powers and spirit, which God has placed in you,
That by this spirit we may be able to preserve our bodies
and our activities, and acquire wealth; and we may be able
to put away from ourselves evil thoughts, sadness, and
misery; Nor may we have misery in this world, or sorrowful
thoughts; but that we may live a good life in great and
perfect abundance, and do works pleasing to the Lord our
God; And that by your powers and spirit you may fortify our
bodies so that in health, without any infirmity or
suffering, they may be made to preserve our lives, and all
infirmities and occasions of evil may be kept far from us.
Let us also draw ourselves away from every evil that may be
done to us by any person or beast, and let us be able to
have divine grace and your love, that we may be wholly
sheltered by your spirit and virtue, and defend us by your
good and beautiful shelter, and regard us by a favorable
aspect, and by this let us be defended against all this
world.
Let those who speak ill of us and their maledictions of
every kind be helt far from us, and let their eyes be
darkened so that they cannot see our traps and deceptions,
nor say anything evil of us, not seek to do any harm to us,
nor be able to blame us for any evil deed or word.
By all these names, then, I conjure you, that you may listen
to the prayer I have spoken and to my requests, and fulfill
the petition I have made to you, and purify my mind toward
you. I ask you for these few and limited things for us on
account of the fragility of our nature and our deeds, and I
return in all my doings to you and to your spirit, which
cleanses and purifies my mind toward you, and disposes me
toward you, that with humility and benevolence what I ask
will be granted, and that I may be preserved by your name
and spirit.
For I know and understand your lordship and power, and am
obedient to them. May you hear my prayer and words, on
account of your goodness, and hear all my petitions, so that
they may be made by me without any defect, and those which
in our petition we have forgotten to ask for, you will deign
to fulfill.
I conjure you by the Lord our God, who alone is God in this
world, the world that is gone, and the world that is to
come, that I may ask from you and your noble powers all that
my prayer seeks, that you may receive complete blessings
from the Lord of the Universe, and grace unto the age of the
ages. Amen. And having a pure and blessed mind toward the
Lord our God, Amen."
