1 Alaha, extend your aid to me; grant me your support and rescue my soul from those with murderous intent.

2 Shall I venture into the domain of the lion? Will the wolf cause me to startle in fear?

3 Is it not sufficient that they lie in wait for my father’s flock, snatching a lamb from its midst? Their intent is to bring ruin even to my very soul.

4 May the mercy of Mar-Yah prevail; safeguard your holy one from impending destruction, allowing him to declare your glory daily and proclaim your great name.

5 As you deliver him from the clutches of the devouring lion and the insatiable wolf, you will also liberate me from the captivity imposed by the hands of wild beasts.

6 Hasten, my Lord, and send a savior from your presence and extricate me from the expansive pit that ensnares me in its depths.
