1. You have attained supreme leadership everywhere,
O Peter the pontiff, when you addressed your Master.

2. You are the Christ and the Son of God who saves us.
Blessed are you, rock of faith, blessed are you!

3. Your absolute rule spreads everywhere,
East and west, for God has appointed you.

4. Feed my sheep, my nation, my peoples,
Feed my ewes, O master, I entrust them to you.

5. Take the keys to loose and bind what
You make lawful or forbidden, for the Lord has given them to you.

6. Upon you, O rock of faith, is built
God’s church inclining towards your meaning.

7. Your meaning is a firm, steadfast rock,
Upon you faith’s structure is built forever.

8. Return and strengthen your brethren who, when
Sifted, in them remains the sincerity of your salvation.

9. He was no believer in me who turned away from you and from
Your supreme fellowship’s teaching and disobeyed you.
