7: PRAYERS AND MEDITATIONS “HALLOWED be the Lord in Whose hand is the …” 169 170 171 |
|
HALLOWED be the Lord in Whose hand is the
source of dominion. He createth whatsoever He
willeth by His Word of command ‘Be’, and it
is. His hath been the power of authority heretofore
and it shall remain His hereafter. He maketh victorious
whomsoever He pleaseth, through the potency of His
behest. He is in truth the Powerful, the Almighty. Unto
Him pertaineth all glory and majesty in the kingdoms of
Revelation and Creation and whatever lieth between them.
Verily He is the Potent, the All-Glorious. From everlasting
He hath been the Source of indomitable strength
and shall remain so unto everlasting. He is indeed the Lord
of might and power. All the kingdoms of heaven and earth
and whatever is between them are God’s, and His power
is supreme over all things. All the treasures of earth and
heaven and everything between them are His, and His
protection extendeth over all things. He is the Creator of
the heavens and the earth and whatever lieth between them
and He truly is a witness over all things. He is the Lord of
Reckoning for all that dwell in the heavens and on earth
and whatever lieth between them, and truly God is swift
to reckon. He setteth the measure assigned to all who are in
the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them.
Verily He is the Supreme Protector. He holdeth in His
grasp the keys of heaven and earth and of everything between
them. At His Own pleasure doth He bestow gifts,
through the power of His command. Indeed His grace
encompasseth all and He is the All-Knowing.

Immeasurably exalted art Thou, O Lord! Protect us
from what lieth in front of us and behind us, above our
heads, on our right, on our left, below our feet and every
other side to which we are exposed. Verily Thy protection
over all things is unfailing.
