Praise the Gods

I praise you Thor, my strength. Thor is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. My God, my rock in whom I take refuge; my shield and the hammer of my protection.

In my distress I called to Thor; to the strongest of Gods, I cried for help. From his home he heard my voice and my cry reached his ears.

Then the sky flashed forth fire and the Earth trembled and shook at the sound of the Thunderer. He rode on the clouds and he came swiftly on the wings of the wind. He made darkness his covering around him; his canopy thick, dark with water. Thor thundered across the sky and the wheels of his chariot uttered his voice.

He threw his hammer and scattered Jotnar; he flashed forth lightning and routed them. He reached down and took me. He drew me out of the mighty waters and delivered me from Jotnar. Thor is my strength and support.
