1. O Bestower before asking throughout the earth
O You to Whom complaint is due when misfortunes occur

2. O Honoror of Your servants with Your reward
O Commander to the afflicted to show patience

3. Your tribulations are veils to hearts from sincerity
For they are bliss and their way is to be thanked

4. Were it not for my claim to resist their violence
I would have asked my effort to increase and multiply

5. But my knowing my status necessitated
That I complain of my weakness, that I cannot endure

6. So patience silences me from complaining, pleased
With You, and my state does not cease to inform

7. Remembering You suffices me from asking, so my companion
If the injustice of tribulation makes me lonely, is to remember

8. No sooner do I remember You and tribulations misguide
The path of prohibition, except it sees at dawn

9. Enough for me is remembering You; with His name
Nothing harms, and that is my protection to be wary

10. You have shown me, O God, Your grace readily
Similar to that which You have shown me to overwhelm

11. Do not test me with afflictions, I
Flee from them to You until You consider

12. I am under Your protection, a companion in remembering You, seeking refuge
In the beauty of Your kindness, how could I fear harm?

13. Your sea of grace has accustomed me to a spring
Pure, so protect my spring from becoming turbid.
