XCIX: "Glorified art Thou, O Lord my God! I pray Thee,..."
| |
1 |
Glorified art Thou, O Lord my God! I pray Thee, by Him Who is the Day-Spring of Thy signs and
the Manifestation of Thy names, and the Treasury
of Thine inspiration, and the Repository of Thy wisdom,
to send upon Thy loved ones that which will
enable them to cleave steadfastly to Thy Cause, and
to recognize Thy unity, and to acknowledge Thy
oneness, and to bear witness to Thy divinity. Raise
them up, O my God, to such heights that they will
recognize in all things the tokens of the power of
Him Who is the Manifestation of Thy most august
and all-glorious Self.

Thou art He, O my Lord, Who doeth what He
willeth, and ordaineth what He pleaseth. Every possessor
of power is forlorn before the revelations of
Thy might, and every fountain of honor becomes
abject when confronted by the manifold evidences of
Thy great glory.

3 |
I beseech Thee, by Thyself and by whatsoever is
of Thee, to grant that I may help Thy Cause and
speak of Thy praise, and set my heart on the sanctuary
of Thy glory, and detach myself from all that
pertaineth not unto Thee. No God is there beside
Thee, the God of power, the God of glory and
wisdom.
