The Dove fluttered over the Messiah, because He was her head; and she sang over Him and her voice was heard:

And no food was given to them, because it did not belong to them;

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:

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.

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

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

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

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;

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;

Because I did good to every man I was hated,

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 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;

They sought to destroy the memorial of him who was before them.

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

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.

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

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.

And words from the Truth, who was self-originate: for He is strengthened by the holy power of the Most High: and He is unperturbed for ever and ever. Hallelujah.

But there stood a perfect virgin who was proclaiming and calling and saying,

It was to me for salvation: everything was shaken and they were affrighted;

It was to me for salvation: everything was shaken and they were affrighted;

And there came forth from them a smoke and a judgment; and I was keeping quiet in the order of the Lord:

More than shelter was He to me, and more than foundation.

And I was carried like a child by his mother: and He gave me milk, the dew of the Lord:

And I spread out my hands in the lifting up of my soul: and I was made right with the Most High, and I was redeemed with Him. Hallelujah.

And I spread out my hands in the lifting up of my soul: and I was made right with the Most High, and I was redeemed with Him. Hallelujah.

And made me stand on my feet in the height of the Lord, before His perfection and His glory, while I was praising Him by the composition of His songs.

The Spirit brought me forth before the face of the Lord: and, although a son of man, I was named the Illuminate, the Son of God:

While I praised amongst the praising ones, and great was I amongst the mighty ones.

And I became one of His Neighbours; and my mouth was opened, like a cloud of dew,

And my access to Him was in peace; and I was established by the Spirit of His government. Hallelujah.

And my access to Him was in peace; and I was established by the Spirit of His government. Hallelujah.

And it went with me and made me rest, and suffered me not to wander, because it was the Truth;

And I was made wise so as not to fall into the hands of the deceiver; and I congratulated myself because the Truth went with me,

And I was established and lived and was redeemed,

And I was established and lived and was redeemed,

It struck deep and sprung up and spread out, and was full and enlarged;

And the Lord alone was glorified in His planting and in His husbandry: by His care and by the blessing of His lips,

The man who was humbled, and exalted by His own righteousness,

And light dawned from the Word that was beforetime in Him;

The Messiah is truly one; and He was known before the foundation of the world,

My expansion is the outspread tree which was set up on the way of the Righteous One.

All my persecutors are dead; and they sought after me who hoped in me, because I was alive:

So was my yoke over those that know me:

And I was not rejected though I was reckoned to be so.

And I was not rejected though I was reckoned to be so.

Sheol saw me and was made miserable:
