My arms I lifted up on high; Even to the grace of the Lord:
2Because He had cast off my bonds from me; And my Helper had lifted me up to His grace and His salvation.
3And I put off darkness, And clothed myself with light:
4And my soul acquired members Free from sorrow, Or affliction or pain.
5And increasingly helpful to me was the thought of the Lord; And His incorruptible fellowship.
6And I was lifted up in the light, And I passed before Him;
7And I became near to Him, Praising and confessing Him.
8He made my heart overflow; and it was found in my mouth; And it shone upon my lips.
9And upon my face the exultation of the Lord increased, And His praise likewise. Hallelujah.
