I SHORTEN
our ways, O Pusan, move aside obstruction in the path:
Go close
before us, cloud-born God.
2
Drive, Pusan, from our road the wolf, the wicked inauspicious wolf,
Who lies in
Wait to injure us.
3
Who lurks about the path we take, the robber with a guileful heart:
Far from
the road chase him away.
4
Tread with thy foot and trample out the firebrand of the wicked one,
The
double-tongued, whoe'er he be.
5
Wise Pusan, Wonder-Worker, we claim of thee now the aid wherewith
Thou
furtheredst our sires of old.
6
So, Lord of all prosperity, best wielder of the golden sword,
Make riches
easy to be won.
7
Past all pursuers lead us, make pleasant our path and fair to tread:
O Pusan,
find thou power for this.
8
Lead us to meadows rich in grass: send on our way no early heat:
O Pusan,
find thou power for this.
9
Be gracious to us, fill us full, give, feed us, and invigorate:
O Pusan,
find thou power for this.
10
No blame have we for Pusan; him we magnify with songs of praise:
We seek the
Mighty One for wealth.
