Translation

With your deep and wide protection, O undeceived one, set in motion for us the forward impulsions and the plenitudes of force purified in the pressing. Stand upright with your guarding help, unassailable, through the night and at the breaking of dawn, encompassing us when the wasting weakness tries to creep in.
