| 1 | Praisegiving to Amen ! |
| 2 | I make hymns in his name. |
| 3 | I give to him praise: to the height of heaven, |
| 4 | and the breadth of the earth. |
| 5 | I tell his might to him who sails down-stream, |
| 6 | and to him who sails up-stream. |
| 7 | Beware of him ! |
| 8 | Repeat it to son and daughter, to great and small. |
| 9 | Herald him to the generations not yet born. |
| 10 | Herald him to the fishes in the deep, |
| 11 | and to the birds in the sky. |
| 12 | Repeat it to him who knows it not, |
| 13 | and to him who knows. |
| 14 | Beware of him ! |
| 15 | You are Amen, the Lord of the silent. |
| 16 | Who comes at the cry of the poor. |
| 17 | When I call to you in my distress, |
| 18 | You come to rescue me. |
| 19 | Give breath to him who is wretched. |
| 20 | Rescue me from bondage. |
| 21 | You are Amen, Lord of Thebes, |
| 22 | Who rescues him who is in Hell ; |
| 23 | For you are he who is merciful, |
| 24 | When one appeals to you. |
| 25 | You are he who comes from afar. |
