Odae Solomontos

I was crowned by my God; And my crown is living:

2And I was justified by my Lord; And my salvation is incorruptible.

3I was loosed from vanities, And I am not condemned. The choking bonds were cut off by His hand;

4I received the face and the fashion of a new person; And I walked in Him and was redeemed.

5And the thought of truth led me; And I walked after it and did not wander.

6And all that have seen me were amazed; And I was supposed by them to be a strange person.

7And He who knew and brought me up, Is the Most High in all His perfection: And He glorified me by His kindness, And raised my thought to the height of Truth.

8And from thence He gave me the way of His steps; And I opened the doors that were closed:

9And I broke in pieces the bars of iron: But my own iron (bonds) melted and dissolved before me.

10And nothing appeared closed to me; Because I was the opening of everything.

11And I went towards all the bondsmen to loose them; That I might not leave any man bound and binding;

12And I imparted my knowledge without grudging; And their request to me with my love.

13And I sowed my fruits in hearts, And transformed them through myself:

14And they received my blessing and lived; And they were gathered to me and were saved.

15Because they became to me as my own members; And I was their head.

16Glory to thee our Head, the Lord Messiah. Hallelujah.
