St. Patricks breastplate (prayer)

I arise today through a mighty strength,
the invocation of the Trinity:
Through belief in the Threeness,
through confession of the Oneness of the Creator of Creation.
I arise today through the strength of heaven;
light of sun, radiance of moon,
splendor of fire, speed of lightning,
swiftness of wind, depth of sea,
stability of earth, firmness of rock,
I arise today through God's strength to pilot me;
God's might to uphold me,
God's wisdom to guide me,
God's eye to look before me,
God's ear to hear me,
God's word to speak for me,
God's hand to guard me,
God's way to lie before me,
God's shield to protect me,
God's host to save me from snares of devils,
from temptation of vices,
from everyone who wishes me ill
afar and anear alone and in a multitude.

Christ with me, Christ beneath me,
Christ above me, Christ on my right hand,
Christ on my left, Christ when I lie down,
Christ when I sit down, Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.

I arise today through a mighty strength,
the invocation of the Trinity:
Through belief in the Threeness,
through confession of the Oneness of the Creator of Creation.
