everywhere been compassed with tribulations,
how their adversaries have
all risen up against them and grievously wronged them.
Thy glory beareth
me witness!
Were all the wicked doers of the earth to band themselves
against us,
and to cast us into a fire such as no man hath kindled,
they
would be powerless to distract our gaze from the horizon of Thy name,
the
Most Exalted,
the Most High,
and would fail to turn aside our hearts from
the seat of Thine effulgent glory.
I swear by Thy might!
The arrows that transfix us in Thy path are the
ornaments of our temples,
and the spears which pierce us in our love for
Thee are as silk unto our bodies.
By the glory of Thy might!
Nothing
whatsoever can beseem Thy servants except what the pen of Thine
irrevocable decree hath traced in this priceless and exalted Tablet.
All praise be to Thy Self at all times and under all conditions.
Thou art,
verily,
the God of knowledge and wisdom.
Praise be unto Thee,
O my God!
Thou seest how He Who is Thy Light hath

desires have kept them back from turning towards Thee,

for love of Thee is a token of Thy mercy unto Thy creatures,
and every
ordeal suffered in Thy path is but a gift from Thee bestowed on Thy chosen
ones.
I testify that my countenance,
which shineth above the Day-Spring of
eternity,
hath been irradiated by adversity,
and my body hath been adorned
by it before all who are in heaven and all who are on earth.
I pray Thee,
by Thy Most Great Name,
to aid all them that have believed on
Thee and on Thy signs to be steadfast in Thy love and to set themselves
towards the Dawning-Place of the Day-Star of Thy loving-kindness.
Inspire
them,
then,
O my God,
with what will unloose their tongue to praise Thee,
and will draw them nigh unto Thee in the life that now is and the life
that is to come.
Thou truly art the Almighty,
the All-Glorious,
the Beneficent.
Glorified be Thy name,
O Lord my God!
I beseech Thee by Thy power that
hath encompassed all created things,
and by Thy sovereignty that hath
