Unto Thee be praise, |
O Lord my God! |
I beseech Thee by Thy Most Great Name |
Who hath been shut up in the prison-town of Akká, |
and Who--as Thou |
beholdest, |
O my God--hath fallen into the hands of His enemies, |
and is |
threatened by the swords of the wicked doers, |
to make me steadfast in His |
Cause, |
and to direct mine eyes continually towards His court, |
in such wise |
that nothing whatsoever will have the power to turn me back from Him. |
I testify, |
O my Lord, |
that He hath surrendered His life in Thy path, |
and |
hath wished for Himself nothing but tribulation in the love He beareth to |
Thee. |
He hath endured all manner of vexations that He may manifest Thy |
sovereignty unto Thy servants, |
and exalt Thy word amidst Thy creatures. |
As |
the adversities deepened, |
and the troubles sent down by Thee compassed Him |
on every side, |
He became so impassioned by His thought of Thee, |
that the |
hosts of all them that had disbelieved in Thee and repudiated Thy signs |
ceased to affright Him. |
I implore Thee, |
O my Lord, |
by Him and by whatsoever pertaineth unto Him, |
to set my affections upon Him even as He hath set His own affections upon |
Thyself. |
I testify that His love is Thy love, |
and His self Thy self, |
and |
His beauty Thy beauty, |
and His Cause Thy Cause. |
Deny me not, |
O my Lord, |
what is with Thee, |
and suffer me not to be |
forgetful of what Thou didst desire in Thy days. |
Thou art, |
verily, |
the |
Almighty, |
the Most Exalted, |
the All-Glorious, |
the All-Wise. |
Lauded be Thy name, |
O Lord my God! |
I entreat Thee by Thy Name through |
which the Hour hath struck, |
and the Resurrection came to pass, |
and fear |
and trembling seized all that are in heaven and all that are on earth, |
to |
rain down, |
out of the heaven of Thy mercy and the clouds of Thy tender |
compassion, |
what will gladden the hearts of Thy servants, |
who have turned |
towards Thee and helped Thy Cause. |
Keep safe Thy servants and Thy handmaidens, |
O my Lord, |
from the darts of |
idle fancy and vain imaginings, |
and give them from the hands of Thy grace |
a draught of the soft-flowing waters of Thy knowledge. |
Thou, |
Subsets and Splits
