XIX: “Praised be Thou, O Lord my God! I implore Thee,…” |
|
Praised be Thou, O Lord my God! I implore Thee,
by Thy Most Great Name through Which Thou didst
stir up Thy servants and build up Thy cities, and by
22
Thy most excellent titles, and Thy most august attributes,
to assist Thy people to turn in the direction
of Thy manifold bounties, and set their faces towards
the Tabernacle of Thy wisdom. Heal Thou the sicknesses
that have assailed the souls on every side, and
have deterred them from directing their gaze towards
the Paradise that lieth in the shelter of Thy shadowing
Name, which Thou didst ordain to be the King of
all names unto all who are in heaven and all who are
on earth. Potent art Thou to do as pleaseth Thee. In
Thy hands is the empire of all names. There is none
other God but Thee, the Mighty, the Wise.

I am but a poor creature, O my Lord; I have clung
to the hem of Thy riches. I am sore sick; I have held
fast the cord of Thy healing. Deliver me from the
ills that have encircled me, and wash me thoroughly
with the waters of Thy graciousness and mercy, and
attire me with the raiment of wholesomeness, through
Thy forgiveness and bounty. Fix, then, mine eyes
upon Thee, and rid me of all attachment to aught
else except Thyself. Aid me to do what Thou desirest,
and to fulfill what Thou pleasest.
