The Following is part of a Boran Prayer from Kenya:

Good God of this earth, my Lord!
You are above me, I am below you.
When misfortune comes to me,
As trees keep off the sun from me,
May you keep off misfortune;
My Lord, be my shadow!

Calling upon you, I pass the day.
Calling upon you, I pass the night.
When the moon rises, do not forsake me;
When I rise, I do not forsake you;
Let the danger pass by me.
