O Mitra! O keeper of oaths! O thou who dost guard the bonds of friendship and of trust! We do praise thee and do honor thee!

It is thou who dost watch over all agreements between men. When two men do make a pact, it is thou who dost hold them to their word. When a friend doth betray a friend, it is thy law that hath been broken.

Without thee, there would be no trust in the world. Every man would fear every other man. No commerce could exist; no friendship could flourish; no family could be secure. But because thou art vigilant, because thou dost punish those who break their oaths, the world remains stable and just.

O Mitra, thou art the friend of all who are true. Thou dost protect the righteous; thou dost honor those who keep their word. The man who is faithful to his oaths will find thy blessing following him all the days of his life.

But to those who are false, who do speak lies and do break their promises, thy wrath doth fall. They do suffer the consequences of their treachery. They do lose the respect of all men.

O Mitra, help us to be true! Help us to keep our promises! Help us to be worthy of the trust that others place in us! And may thy blessing rest upon all those who honor thee through their faithfulness and their integrity!

Accept our worship, O Mitra! Accept our respect! And grant unto us the virtue of truth and the strength to keep our oaths forever!
