and

I was rescued from my bonds and unto thee, my God, I fled:

For thou art the right hand of my Salvation and my helper.

And I shall see him no more: because thy face was with me, which saved me by thy grace.

But I was despised and rejected in the eye of many: and I was in their eyes like lead,

But I was despised and rejected in the eye of many: and I was in their eyes like lead,

And strength was mine from thyself and help.

And strength was mine from thyself and help.

Thou didst set me a lamp at my right hand and at my left: and in me there shall be nothing that is not bright:

Thou didst set me a lamp at my right hand and at my left: and in me there shall be nothing that is not bright:

And I was clothed with the covering of thy Spirit, and thou didst remove from me my raiment of skin;

And I was clothed with the covering of thy Spirit, and thou didst remove from me my raiment of skin;

For thy right hand lifted me up and removed sickness from me:

And I became mighty in: the truth, and holy by thy righteousness; and all my adversaries were afraid of me;

And I became mighty in: the truth, and holy by thy righteousness; and all my adversaries were afraid of me;

And I became mighty in: the truth, and holy by thy righteousness; and all my adversaries were afraid of me;

And I became admirable by the name of the Lord, and was justified by His gentleness, and His rest is for ever and ever. Hallelujah.

And I became admirable by the name of the Lord, and was justified by His gentleness, and His rest is for ever and ever. Hallelujah.

And I became admirable by the name of the Lord, and was justified by His gentleness, and His rest is for ever and ever. Hallelujah.

And I will speak His holy song, for my heart is with Him.

For His harp is in my hands, and the Odes of His rest shall not be silent.

I will cry unto him from my whole heart: I will praise and exalt Him with all my members.

For from the east and even to the west is His praise:

And from the south and even to the north is the confession of Him:

And from the south and even to the north is the confession of Him:

And from the top of the hills to their utmost bound is His perfection.

For he who could interpret would be dissolved and would become that which is interpreted.

For it suffices to know and to rest: for in rest the singers stand,

Like a river which has an abundant fountain, and flows to the help of them that seek it. Hallelujah.

I stretched out my hands and sanctified my Lord:

And my expansion is the upright tree [or cross].

As the wings of doves over their nestlings; and the mouth of their nestlings towards their mouths.

My heart is delighted and exults: like the babe who exults in the womb of his mother:

He has richly blessed me and my head is with Him: and the sword shall not divide me from Him, nor the scimitar;

He has richly blessed me and my head is with Him: and the sword shall not divide me from Him, nor the scimitar;

For I am ready before destruction comes; and I have been set on His immortal pinions:

And He showed me His sign: forth and given me to drink, and from that life is the spirit within me, and it cannot die, for it lives.

And He showed me His sign: forth and given me to drink, and from that life is the spirit within me, and it cannot die, for it lives.

And He showed me His sign: forth and given me to drink, and from that life is the spirit within me, and it cannot die, for it lives.

They who saw me marvelled at me, because I was persecuted, and they supposed that I was swallowed up: for I seemed to them as one of the lost;

And my oppression became my salvation; and I was their reprobation because there was no zeal in me;

And my oppression became my salvation; and I was their reprobation because there was no zeal in me;

And they came round me like mad dogs, who ignorantly attack their masters,

For their thought is corrupt and their understanding perverted.

But I was carrying water in my right hand, and their bitterness I endured by my sweetness;

And I did not perish, for I was not their brother nor was my birth like theirs.

And they sought for my death and did not find it: for I was older than the memorial of them;

And they sought for my death and did not find it: for I was older than the memorial of them;

And vainly did they make attack upon me and those who, without reward, came after me:

And vainly did they make attack upon me and those who, without reward, came after me:

For the thought of the Most High cannot be anticipated; and His heart is superior to all wisdom. Hallelujah.

For according to His praise He made me, and according to His goodness even so He gave unto me:

And according to His mercies He exalted me: and according to His excellent beauty He set me on high:

And according to His mercies He exalted me: and according to His excellent beauty He set me on high:

And brought me up out of the depths of Sheol: and from the mouth of death He drew me:

And brought me up out of the depths of Sheol: and from the mouth of death He drew me:

And thou didst lay my enemies low, and He justified me by His grace.

And thou didst lay my enemies low, and He justified me by His grace.

For I believed in the Lord's Messiah: and it appeared to me that He is the Lord;

And He showed him His sign: and He led me by His light, and gave me the rod of His power;

And He showed him His sign: and He led me by His light, and gave me the rod of His power;

And He showed him His sign: and He led me by His light, and gave me the rod of His power;

That I might subdue the imaginations of the peoples; and the power of the men of might to bring them low:

To make war by His word, and to take victory by His power.

And the Lord overthrew my enemy by His word: and he became like the stubble which the wind carries away;

And the Lord overthrew my enemy by His word: and he became like the stubble which the wind carries away;

And I gave praise to the Most High because He exalted me His servant and the son of His handmaid. Hallelujah.

And come all ye thirsty, and take the draught; and rest by the fountain of the Lord.

And come all ye thirsty, and take the draught; and rest by the fountain of the Lord.

And come all ye thirsty, and take the draught; and rest by the fountain of the Lord.

For fair it is and pure and gives rest to the soul. Much more pleasant are its waters than honey;

For fair it is and pure and gives rest to the soul. Much more pleasant are its waters than honey;

And the honeycomb of bees is not to be compared with it.

For it flows forth from the lips of the Lord and from the heart of the Lord is its name.

And it came infinitely and invisibly: and until it was set in the midst they did not know it:

And it came infinitely and invisibly: and until it was set in the midst they did not know it:

Blessed are they who have drunk therefrom and have found rest thereby. Hallelujah.

The abysses were dissolved before the Lord: and darkness was destroyed by His appearance:

Error went astray and perished at His hand: and folly found no path to walk in, and was submerged by the truth of the Lord.

Error went astray and perished at His hand: and folly found no path to walk in, and was submerged by the truth of the Lord.

Error went astray and perished at His hand: and folly found no path to walk in, and was submerged by the truth of the Lord.

He opened His mouth and spake grace and joy: and He spake a new song of praise to His name:

He opened His mouth and spake grace and joy: and He spake a new song of praise to His name:

He opened His mouth and spake grace and joy: and He spake a new song of praise to His name:

And He lifted up His voice to the Most High, and offered to Him the sons that were with Him.

And He lifted up His voice to the Most High, and offered to Him the sons that were with Him.

And His face was justified, for thus His holy Father had given to Him.

Come forth, ye that have been afflicted and receive joy, and possess your souls by His grace; and take to you immortal life.

Come forth, ye that have been afflicted and receive joy, and possess your souls by His grace; and take to you immortal life.

And they made me a debtor when I rose up, me who had been a debtor: and they divided my spoil, though nothing was due to them.

And they made me a debtor when I rose up, me who had been a debtor: and they divided my spoil, though nothing was due to them.

But I endured and held my peace and was silent, as if not, moved by them.

But I endured and held my peace and was silent, as if not, moved by them.

But I stood unshaken like a firm rock which is beaten by the waves and endures.

And I bore their bitterness for humility's sake:

In order, that I might redeem my people, and inherit it and that I might not make void my promises to the fathers, to whom I promised the salvation of their seed. Hallelujah.
