Master of the Day of Judgment,
Dir allein dienen wir, und zu Dir allein flehen wir um Hilfe.
Thee do we worship, and Thine aid we seek.

Show us the straight way,
Show us the straight path,
den Weg derjenigen, denen Du Gunst erwiesen hast, nicht derjenigen, die (Deinen) Zorn erregt haben, und nicht der Irregehenden!
The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace, those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray.
The path of those whom Thou hast favoured; Not the (path) of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who go astray.
