Let God Help You
Let God Help You - meaning Summary
A Universal Benediction
Pushkin's short poem addresses friends with a simple benediction, calling for divine aid across contrasting human experiences. It pairs intimate moments—love and feasting—with severe trials—storms, daily distress, abysses, deserts, and foreign lands—presenting faith as constant support. The repeated plea unites communal well-wishing and spiritual protection, suggesting compassion and hope that endure whether amid joy or hardship.

Let God help you, my dear friends, In storms and everyday distress, In dark abysses of the earth, In desert seas and alien lands! Translated by Yevgeny Bonver
