I praise and honor you, I thank you for your blessings.

Great and good Athena, mistress of the city,

Mighty Athena, whose able arm ever aids

Clever Athena, contriver of cunning plans,

half-played and sees the way to seize the win. Goddess,
you know that where might may fail, wit will ever succeed.
I praise and honor you, I thank you for your blessings.

Triumphant Athena, bringer of victory,
holder of the battle standard, sounder of
the war trumpet, granter of the spoils of strife,
wisest of strategists, wiliest of tacticians. Goddess,
I praise and honor you, I thank you for your blessings.

Athena Ergane, worker of art and craft,
weaver of tapestries so intricate and bright,
the world pales beside them; friend of the spinner,
the seamstress, the smith, friend of all artisans,
I praise and honor you, I thank you for your blessings.

Gracious Athena, patron of heroes clever
and strong, discerner of excellence, with a glance
you know the best of men and women and make them yours.
Challenge and chance fall to those you favor, goddess.
I praise and honor you, I thank you for your blessings.
