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
Square Celtic Knot
I arise today 
Through the strength of Christ's birth with His baptism, 
Through the strength of His crucifixion with His burial, 
Through the strength of His resurrection 
and His ascension, 
Through the strength of His descent 
for the judgment of Doom

 
I arise today
through the strength of the love of the Cherubim,
In obedience of angels,
In the service of archangels,
In hope of resurrection to meet with reward
In prayers of patriarchs, 
In predictions of prophets, 
In preaching of apostles, 
In faiths of confessors, 
In innocence of holy virgins, 
In deeds of righteous men.
Saint Patrick: I bind to myself today the faith of the Trinity in unity. (from the hand of Simeon 1986)

Castle on a cliff, overlooking a bay.
I arise today
Through the strength of heaven,
Light of the sun,
Radiance of the 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 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 
From the snares of devils, 
From temptations of vices, 
From everyone who shall wish me ill, 
Afar and near, 
Alone and in a multitude.
I summon today all these powers between me and those evils, 
Against every cruel merciless power 
that may oppose my body and soul, 
Against incantantations of false prophets, 
Against black laws of paganism, 
Against false laws of heretics, 
Against craft of idolatry, 
Against spells of women and smiths and wizards, 
Against every knowledge that corrupts man's body and soul.
Christ to shield me today 
Against poison, against burning, 
Against drowning, against wounding, 
So that there may come to me abundance of reward.

Cross of Celtic knots
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I sit, Christ when I lie down, Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of everyone 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 a belief in the threeness,
Through confession of the oneness
Of the Creator of creation.

  (This is a tribute to my heritage.  The Lorica [Breastplate] or Deer's Cry is an ancient Irish poem, invoking the protection of God at the beginning of the day.  Many believe that Saint Patrick wrote it, so it is also called Saint Patrick's Breastplate.  This version has been translated by Kuno Meyer.)
