for

They wove for me a crown of truth, and it caused thy branches to bud in me.

For it is not like a withered crown which buddeth not: but thou livest upon my head, and thou hast blossomed upon my head.

For I should not have known how to love the Lord, if He had not loved me.

For who is able to distinguish love, except the one that is loved?

And I shall be no stranger, for with the Lord Most High and Merciful there is no grudging.

I have been united to I-run, for the Lover has found the Beloved,

For he that is joined to Him that is immortal, will also himself become immortal;

For thy sanctuary thou hast designed before thou didst make (other) places:

For one hour of thy Faith is more precious than all days and years.

For who is there that shall put on thy grace, and be hurt?

For thy seal is known: and thy creatures know it: and thy (heavenly) hosts possess it: and the elect archangels are clad with it.

For there is no repentance with thee that thou shouldest repent of anything that thou hast promised:

And the end was revealed before thee: for what thou gavest, thou gavest freely:

For all was revealed before thee as God, and ordered from the beginning before thee: and thou, O God, hast made all things. Hallelujah.

O Most High, thou wilt not forsake me, for thou art my hope:

For they have devised a counsel, and it did not succeed:

For my hope is upon the Lord, and I will not fear, and because the Lord is my salvation, I will not fear:

For it destroys what is foreign, and everything that is bitter:

For thus it was from the beginning and will be to the end, that nothing should be His adversary, and nothing should stand up against Him.

For there went forth a stream and became a river great and broad;

For it flooded and broke up everything and it brought (water) to the Temple:

For it spread over the face of the whole earth, and filled everything: and all the thirsty upon earth were given to drink of it;

And thirst was relieved and quenched: for from the Most High the draught was given.

They gave strength for their feebleness and light to their eyes:

For everyone knew them in the Lord, and they lived by the water of life for ever. Hallelujah.

For everyone knew them in the Lord, and they lived by the water of life for ever. Hallelujah.

For I have a helper, the Lord.

For knowledge He hath appointed as its way, He hath widened it and extended it; and brought to all perfection;

For by Him it was wrought, and He was resting in the Son, and for its salvation He will take hold of everything;

For by Him it was wrought, and He was resting in the Son, and for its salvation He will take hold of everything;

And they shall praise the Lord for His love: because He is near and beholdeth.

For ignorance hath been destroyed, because the knowledge of the Lord hath arrived.

For He hath given a mouth to His creation, to open the voice of the mouth towards Him, to praise Him:

For the right hand of the Lord is with you: and He is your helper:

And peace was prepared for you, before ever your war was.

For I do not turn away my face from them that are mine;

For I know them, and before they came into being I took knowledge of them, and on their faces I set my seal:

I fashioned their members: my own breasts I prepared for them, that they might drink my holy milk and live thereby.

For my workmanship are they and the strength of my thoughts:

And my righteousness goeth before them and they shall not be deprived of my name, for it is with them.

For in the will of the Lord is your salvation, and His thought is everlasting life; and your end is immortality. q Be enriched in God the Father, and receive the thought of the Most High.

For I announce to you peace, to you His saints;

An everlasting crown for ever is Truth. Blessed are they who set it on their heads:

For their book is victory which is yours. And she (Victory) sees you before her and wills that you shall be saved. Hallelujah.

To convert the souls of them who are willing to come to Him; and to lead captive a good captivity for freedom.

And it became to me for the praise of the Most High, and of God my Father.

And I was unpolluted by my love for them, because they confessed me in high places: and the traces of the light were set upon their heart:

And they walked in my life and were saved and became my people for ever and ever. Hallelujah.

For the Most High clave my heart by His Holy Spirit and searched my affection towards Him: and filled me with His love.

And everything became like a relic of thyself, and memorial for ever of thy faithful works.

For there is abundant room in thy Paradise, and nothing is useless therein;

But everything is filled with fruit; glory be to thee, O God, the delight of Paradise for ever. Hallelujah.

For the swiftness of the Word is inexpressible, and like its expression is its swiftness and force;

For as its work is, so is its end: for it is light and the dawning of thought;

For as its work is, so is its end: for it is light and the dawning of thought;

And they knew Him who made them, because they were in concord; for the mouth of the Most High spake to them; and His explanation ran by means of it:

For the dwelling-place of the Word is man: and its truth is love.

For with thee are my consolations and my delight.

And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies, so thou shalt give to me; and hasten to grant our petitions; and thou art able for all our needs. Hallelujah.

As the sun is the joy to them that seek for its daybreak, so is my joy the Lord;

For my love is the Lord, and therefore I will sing unto Him:

For I am made strong in His praise, and I have faith in Him.

For the word of the Lord searches out all things, both the invisible and that which reveals His thought;

For the eye sees His works, and the ear hears His thought;

And He made the sun for the day that it may be bright, but night brings darkness over the face of the land;

And their alternations one to the other speak the beauty of God: IS And there is nothing that is without the Lord; for He was before any thing came into being:

My heart was lifted up in the love of the Most High and was enlarged: that I might praise Him for His name's sake.

Sicknesses removed from my body, and it stood to the Lord by His will. For His kingdom is true.

O Lord, for the sake of them that are deficient do not remove thy word from me!

Neither for the sake of their works do thou restrain from me thy perfection!

For thy will is perfection; and vanity thou knowest not,

And they have not been corrupt in their imagination; for such were in the mind of the Lord;

And the Holy Spirit milked Him: because His breasts were full, and it was necessary for Him that His milk should be sufficiently released;

And because she was not sufficiently prepared, and she had not sought a midwife (for He brought her to bear) she brought forth, as if she were a man, of her own will;

For His thought is not like the thought of the world nor the thought of the flesh, nor like them that serve carnally.

Thy right hand destroyed his wicked poison; and thy hand levelled the way for those who believe in thee.

They were motionless, and thou didst give them energy for life.

And that the foundation for everything might be thy rock: and on it thou didst build thy kingdom; and it became the dwelling place of the saints. Hallelujah.

Because it was not permitted to them to loose its seal: for the power that was over the seal was greater than they.

The head went down to the feet, for down to the feet ran the wheel, and that which was a sign upon it.

The letter was one of command, for there were included in it all districts;

And the name of the Father was on it, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, to rule for ever and ever. Hallelujah.

For they were corrupt from the beginning; and the end of their corruption was life:

And every one of them that was imperfect perished: for it was not possible to give them a word that they might remain:

For they who in their hearts were lifted up were deficient in wisdom, and so they were rejected, because the truth was not with them.

For the Lord disclosed His way, and spread abroad His grace: and those who understood it, know His holiness. Hallelujah.

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

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

I poured out praise to the Lord, for I am His:

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.

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

Or who can train his soul for life, that his soul may be saved,

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,

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

For the extension of my hands is His sign:

I believed; therefore I was at rest; for faithful is He in whom I have believed:

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