The abysses were dissolved before the Lord; And darkness was destroyed by His appearance.
2Error went astray And disappeared from Him, And (as for) Falsehood, I gave it no path, And it was submerged by the truth of the Lord.
3He opened His mouth and spake grace and joy; And He spake a new (song of) praise to His name.
4And He lifted up His voice to the Most High, And offered to Him the sons that were in His hands.
5And His face was justified; For thus His Holy Father had given to Him.
6Come forth, ye that have been afflicted, And receive joy.
7And possess your souls by grace; And take to you immortal life, And they condemned me when I rose up; Me who had not been condemned.
8And they divided my spoil, Though nothing was due to them.
9But I endured and held my peace and was silent, That I might not be moved by them.
10But I stood unshaken like a firm rock, That is beaten by the waves and endures.
11And I bore their bitterness for humility's sake; That I might redeem my people and inherit it.
12And that I might not make void the promises to the patriarchs To whom I was promised for the salvation of their seed. Hallelujah.
