Translated Text:

Wise God, indeed, it is for Your praise through righteousness.
If you are pleased with Your thought-provoker,
then manifest a clear help
with Your powerful hands which shall give us happiness.

Commentary:

Zarathushtra properly praises Mazda by working through the best mind, righteousness, and the divine dominion. He wants to be sure that if his is the right way of provoking people to think right, then he should soon see the divine help in making his mission a happy success. Events proved that he was right.

Pondering Point:

“Ahura Mazda intends for us all to be happy, it is up to us to seek him out.”
