Noble Hera, fair bride of gloried Zeus,
awesome goddess of might unparalleled.
In wedding vows entered into with joy,
in well-tossed covers on a marriage bed,
in husbands and wives together 'til death,
in these things you take joy, gracious goddess.
Hera, all-seeing friend of the faithful,
staunch defender of home and family,
great goddess of power unknowable,
we thank you for your blessings on partners
and children, on kin and on lineage.
Renowned Hera, we praise and honor you.
