Odae Solomontos

As the honey distils from the comb of the bees, And the milk flows from the woman that loves her children, So also is my hope on thee, my God.

2As the fountain gushes out its water, So my heart gushes out the praise of the Lord, And my lips utter praises to Him.

3And my tongue is sweet in His intimate converse And my limbs are made fat by the sweetness of His Odes.

4And my face is glad with His exultation; And my spirit exults in His love; And my soul shines in Him;

5And the fearful one shall confide in Him; And redemption shall in Him stand assured;

6And his gain is immortal life; And those who participate in it are incorruptible. Hallelujah.
