From the God of your father 

who will help you,1

And the One who suckles all 

Who will bless you

With blessings of the heavens above

Blessings of the deep that crouch below

Blessings of the breasts and the womb2

So that you may nurse, and be satisfied

From her breast of consolation

So that you drink deeply 

And with delight

From the abundance of her glory

For thus says YHVH:

Here I am. 

I will extend to her

Like a river, peace.

And like an overflowing stream

And you shall nurse it.

You will be held on the hip

/* ><!*/

And dangled on the knees.3

For You brought me forth from the womb

/* ><!*/

You gave me trust in You 

By way of my mother’s breasts.

 

Blessed are You

Mother of worlds

Who created me with the ability

To nourish my nursling.
