Athena Polias, poluboula, exeeding wise, oxuderkes, bright-eyed, 
korufagenes, sprung forth from the head of Zeus, polioucha, 
protrectress of cities, wearing your terribe aigis, your arms flashing gold.  
You, with fierce-hearted Ares, gave to Kadmos the dragon’s teeth 
and helped him found Thebe.  You set Erichthonios, who began 
the Panathenaia in your honor, to rule Athens.  Guide our new president, 
help him to navigate the unruly sea of the present day.  
Guide his mind, Kaliniti, the bridler, that he may see with your keen vision 
the way to peace and good fortune for this nation.
