¹ I beseech the wondrous King of angels, for that is the name that is mightiest: God (be) behind me, God on my left, God before me, God on my right! May God help me — holy the invocation — against every danger that I risk! Let there be a bridge of life beneath me, the blessing of God the Father above me

² May the Holy Trinity awake us to whom … death is not certain, the splendid Holy Spirit, the strength of Heaven, God the Father, Mary’s great Son. The great King who knows our crimes, the sinless Lord above the world, (Be) to my soul against every…! May not the Devil’s… come to me!

³ May God ward off from me every hardship! May Christ prepare my pleadings! May the Apostles come together around me! May the Trinity of witness come to me! May… of mercy come to me from Christ who is not concealed in song! May not death nor wailing overtake me! may not plague nor sickness come to me.

⁴ Let not a hard cast, which maddens, which perturbs, come to me apart from God’s Son! May Christ protect me against every violent death, against fire, against the tumult of the sea! Against every peril that is dangerous to my body, with awful storms, may the Lord at every time come to me, against wind, against swift waters!

⁵ I will utter the praises of Mary’s Son, who fights our white fights; Creative God will answer, a corslet of which my tongue boasts. In entreating God from the heavens may my body be lastingly laborious: That I may not go to awful hell, I beseech the King whom I have besought.
