Odes of Solomon35

odes-of-solomon

The gentle showers of the Lord overshadowed me with serenity, and they caused a cloud of peace to rise over my head;

That it might guard me at all times. And it became salvation to me.

Everyone was disturbed and afraid, and there came from them smoke and judgment.

But I was tranquil in the Lord's legion; more than shade was He to me, and more than foundation.

And I was carried like a child by its mother; and He gave me milk, the dew of the Lord.

And I was enriched by His favor, and rested in His perfection.

And I spread out my hands in the ascent of myself, and I directed myself towards the Most High, and I was redeemed towards Him.

Hallelujah.
