Glory be unto Thee, O God. How can I make mention of Thee
while Thou art sanctified from the praise of all mankind. Magnified be Thy
Name, O God, Thou art the King, the Eternal Truth; Thou knowest what is in the
heavens and on the earth, and unto Thee must all return. Thou hast sent down
Thy divinely ordained Revelation according to a clear measure. Praised art
Thou, O Lord! At Thy behest Thou dost render victorious whomsoever Thou
willest, through the hosts of heaven and earth and whatsoever existeth between
them. Thou art the Sovereign, the Eternal Truth, the Lord of invincible might.
Glorified art Thou, O Lord, Thou forgivest at all times the
sins of such among Thy servants as implore Thy pardon. Wash away my sins and
the sins of those who seek Thy forgiveness at dawn, who pray to Thee in the
daytime and in the night season, who yearn after naught save God, who offer up
whatsoever God hath graciously bestowed upon them, who celebrate Thy praise at
morn and eventide, and who are not remiss in their duties.
