Zeus, greatest among Olympos' mighty,
father of many, gods and men, you are.
In the soft distant rumble of thunder,
clouds growing heavy, deep darkening skies,
torrents of rain, flashes of bright lightning,
in these we see your hand, most honored one.
Father Zeus, storm-bringer, kind provider,
all-powerful ruler of the heavens,
guardian of children and travellers,
we thank you for rain upon fruit and field,
for protection and for victory.
O peerless Zeus, we praise and honor you.
