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
