Russian-speaking Redditors: help me with a translation for my tattoo?

My next tattoo is going to be the Russian proverb, "Pray to God, but row for shore."

It's from Carnivale, and sums up my world view. (I'm not religious at all, it's the sentiment of accountability and preparation that I like.)

Anyway, could anyone help me? I don't want a botched translation (like Penny's soup tattoo, anyone?)

Thanks!
