Odae Solomontos

He who brings me down from on high; And brings me up from the regions below;

2And who gathers the things that are betwixt And throws them to me;

3He who scattered my enemies And my adversaries;

4He who gave me authority over bonds, That I might loose them;

5He that overthrew by my hands the dragon with seven heads, And set me at his roots that I might destroy his seed--

6Thou wast there and didst help me; And in every place Thy name was round about me.

7Thy right hand destroyed his wicked venom; And thy hand levelled the way for those who believe in thee;

8And it chose them from the graves, And separated them from the dead.

9It took dead bones, And covered them with bodies;

10And they were motionless, And it gave (them) energy for life.

11Thy way was without corruption and thy face; Thou didst bring thy world to corruption; That everything might be dissolved and renewed, And that the foundation for everything might be thy rock; And on it thou didst build thy Kingdom; And thou becamest the dwelling-place of the saints. Hallelujah.
