Into obedience to us - which is an obligatory

Duty for both them and you, then you

And your subjects and your lands are safe

And secure, protected by our mercy which

Shall guard you from all sides so that you

Shall not experience from our Exalted Abode

Anything which shall harm you or alarm You to the end of time, if it be the will of God; You shall be safe and secure, and you shall

Have support from our divinely

Victorious armies over your enemies.
