(Allahumma anta AAadudee, wa-anta naseeree, bika ajoolu wabika asoolu wabika oqatil)
(O Allah, You are my supporter and You are my helper, by You I move and by You I attack and by You I battle.)

The wording divides in two. The first half states what He is to the speaker, twice over: my supporter, and my helper. The second half states what the speaker does, and every verb is prefixed the same way — by You I move, by You I attack, by You I battle. Three actions, three repetitions of by You, and no request is made anywhere in it.
The chapter places these words at the meeting with an adversary or a powerful ruler.
It is said at a confrontation and yet asks for nothing — no victory, no protection, no outcome. Each action the speaker names is attributed to Him before it is described.
