God, in truth, keepeth watch over all things.
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.(7)
--The Bab
"O God, my God! Shield Thy trusted servants..."
O God, my God! Shield Thy trusted servants from the evils of self and
passion, protect them with the watchful eye of Thy loving-kindness from
all rancor, hate and envy, shelter them in the impregnable stronghold of
Thy care and, safe from the darts of doubtfulness, make them the
manifestations of Thy glorious signs, illumine their faces with the
effulgent rays shed from the Dayspring of Thy divine unity, gladden their
hearts with the verses revealed from Thy holy kingdom, strengthen their
loins by Thine all-swaying power that cometh from Thy realm of glory. Thou
art the All-Bountiful, the Protector, the Almighty, the Gracious.
--'Abdu'l-Baha
"O my Lord! Thou knowest that the people..."
O my Lord! Thou knowest that the people are encircled with pain and
calamities and are environed with hardships and trouble.
