Translation

Give us the plenitude that is well-armed, self-sufficient, and well-guided; a wealth that holds firm like the four seas, a foundation for many streams of richness. Give what is to be made and built, what is to be proclaimed, abundant in wideness—varied, potent, a rayi of fulfilled being.
