LXXXIV: “Magnified art Thou, O Lord my God! I ask Thee…” 142 |
Magnified art Thou, O Lord my God! I ask Thee
by Thy Name which Thou hast set up above all other
names, through which the veil of heaven hath been
split asunder and the Day-Star of Thy beauty hath
risen above the horizon, shining with the brightness
of Thy Name, the Exalted, the Most High, to succor
me with Thy wondrous help and to preserve me in
the shelter of Thy care and protection.
|
I am one of Thy handmaidens, O my Lord! Unto
Thee have I turned, and in Thee have I placed my
trust. Grant that I may be so confirmed in my love
for Thee, and in fulfilling that which is well-pleasing
unto Thee, that neither the defection of the infidels
among Thy people, nor the clamor of the hypocrites
among Thy creatures, may avail to keep me back
from Thee.
|
Purge Thou mine ear, O my Lord, that I may
hearken unto the verses sent down unto Thee, and
illuminate my heart with the light of Thy knowledge,
and loose my tongue that it may make mention
of Thee and sing Thy praise. By Thy might, O my
God! My soul is wedded to none beside Thee, and
my heart seeketh none except Thine own Self.
