{Oh great Vessel of Honour,
May your servo-motors be guarded,

Against malfunction,

As your spirit is guarded from impurity.

We beseech the Machine God to watch over you.

Let flow the sacred oils,

And let not the sorrows of the Seven Perplexities

trouble thine pistons.

Let flow the blessed unguents,

And may thine circuitry remain divinely blessed.}


{All praise the edd and flow,
All feel the nimbus rising,

All sing the body electric,

Feel the full charge crackle!

Invest this device with Your holy charge.}

Hear, oh Savior of Mankind, my plea for justice; pay heed to my cry; Listen to my prayer spoken without guile.
From you let my vindication come; your eyes see what is right.
You have tested my faith, searched it in the night.
You have tried me by fire, but find no malice in me.
My mouth has not transgressed as humans often do. As your words have instructed me, I have kept the way of the law.
My steps have kept to your paths; my feet have not faltered.
I call upon you; O God of Mankind. Turn your gaze to me; hear my prayer.
Show your wondrous power, you who deliver with your right arm those who seek refuge from their foes.
Keep me as the favored servant; hide me in the shadow of your throne from the violence of the wicked.
My ravenous enemies press upon me; they close their hearts, they fill their mouths with lies.
Their steps even now encircle me; they watch closely, keeping low to the ground,
Like vermin eager for prey, like rats lurking in ambush.
Rise, O Emperor, confront and cast them down; rescue me so from the wicked.
Slay them with your sword; with your hand, slay them; snatch them from their world in their prime.
Their bellies are being filled with your servants; their children are satisfied too, for they share what is left with their foul kin.
You are the God-Emperor, Savior of Mankind you protect those who serve you
Who disdains the wicked, but honors those who fear the Emperor;
Who keeps an oath despite the cost, accepts no bribe or treachery against the innocent and the loyal servants of mankind.
Whoever acts like this shall never be shaken.
Whoever acts like this shall be blessed in the Emperor eyes.
