CXXIX: "Praised be Thou, O my God! Thou seest how Thy..."
| |
1 |
Praised be Thou, O my God! Thou seest how Thy righteous servants have fallen into the hands of the
wicked doers, who have disbelieved in Thy name, the
Unconstrained, and denied Thy majesty, and Thine
unrestrained authority, and Thy strength, and Thy
sovereign might. Their mouths utter what the mouths
of the Jews uttered aforetime.
| |
2 |
Put forth, therefore, out of the bosom of Thy
glory, O my Lord, the hand of Thine omnipotence,
and through it assist Thou Thy loved ones who,
though sore-tried in Thy path with such trials as
have caused the inmates of the kingdom of Thy Cause
to groan, were not deterred from turning towards the
horizon of Thy Revelation.
| |
3 |
Set, then, the seal of Thine unerring protection on
their hearts, O my Lord, lest perchance the remembrance
of aught else except Thee enter therein. Make
them able, moreover, to proclaim Thy name amidst
Thy creatures, and supply them with the best of what
Thou hast destined for such of Thy chosen ones as
enjoy near access to Thee.
| |
4 |
Potent art Thou to do Thy pleasure. Thou truly
art the All-Glorious, to whom all cry for help.
