Glory be unto Thee, O Lord, Thou Who hast brought into being
all created things, through the power of Thy behest.
O Lord! Assist those who have renounced all else but Thee,
and grant them a mighty victory. Send down upon them, O Lord, the concourse of
the angels in heaven and earth and all that is between, to aid Thy servants, to
succour and strengthen them, to enable them to achieve success, to sustain
them, to invest them with glory, to confer upon them honour and exaltation, to
enrich them and to make them triumphant with a wondrous triumph.
Thou art their Lord, the Lord of the heavens and the earth,
the Lord of all the worlds. Strengthen this Faith, O Lord, through the power of
these servants and cause them to prevail over all the peoples of the world; for
they, of a truth, are Thy servants who have detached themselves from aught else
but Thee, and Thou verily art the protector of true believers.
Grant Thou, O Lord, that their hearts may, through
allegiance to this, Thine inviolable Faith, grow stronger than anything else in
the heavens and on earth and in whatsoever is between them; and strengthen, O
Lord, their hands with the tokens of Thy wondrous power that they may manifest
Thy power before the gaze of all mankind.
