Praise be unto Thee, O Lord. Forgive us our sins, have mercy
upon us and enable us to return unto Thee. Suffer us not to rely on aught else
besides Thee, and vouchsafe unto us, through Thy bounty, that which Thou lovest
and desirest and well beseemeth Thee. Exalt the station of them that have truly
believed and forgive them with Thy gracious forgiveness. Verily Thou art the
Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting.

the Báb')
