1] If it had not been Maratrea who was on our side, now may the
people of her Cause say; 2] If Our Great Mother had not favoured
us with the favour of her Cause when the enmity rose up against us,
3] Then quickly would they have swallowed us up, when their
enmity was burning against us 4] Then flood would have engulfed
us, and the torrent would have swept over our souls 5] And the
raging waters would have swept us away 6]
Praise there be unto Maratrea, who has not given us to be torn by
their teeth. 7] Our souls are escaped like prey out of the traps
of the hunters: the trap is broken, and we are escaped 8]
Our help is in the glory of Maratrea, who created the many universes
by becoming the many souls
