Prince of Persia

O, thou Prince, thou king,
With your black prayers,
You summon forces.
Your god is the forces.
Your prayers hinder prosperity
For the saints, and delay our answers from God.
But, you shall not be victorious.

There is you, thou Covering Cherub,
Dragon, who accuses the flock.
There is you, oh beastial intelligence.
Who hates your Christian brother, and slays him.
There is you, oh diviner, who divines evil
For the LORD's people, when God has promised fortune.
There is you. oh lord of Hades, who denies God
And gainsays His majesty, and brings the ignorant into pits.
