As (the hand) moves over the harp, and the strings speak;
2So speaks in my members the Spirit of the Lord, And I speak by His love.
3For He destroys what is foreign, And everything is of the Lord.
4For thus He was from the beginning, And (shall be) to the end.
5That nothing should be His adversary, And nothing should stand up against Him.
6The Lord has multiplied His knowledge; And was zealous that those things should be known which by His grace have been given to us.
7And the praise of His name He gave us: Our spirits praise His holy Spirit.
8For there went forth a stream, And became a river great and broad: It swept away everything, and broke up and carried away the Temple.
9And the restraints (made) by men were not able to restrain it, Nor the arts of those whose (business it is to) restrain water.
10For it spread over the face of the whole earth, And it filled everything.
11All the thirsty upon earth were given to drink (of it): And thirst was done away and quenched:
12For from the Most High the draught was given.
13Blessed then are the ministers of that draught, Who have been entrusted with that water of His:
14They have assuaged the dry lips, And the will that had fainted they have raised up:
15And souls that were near departing They have held back from death:
16And limbs that had fallen They have straightened and set up:
17They gave strength to their coming And light to their eyes.
18For everyone knew them in the Lord, And they lived by the water an eternal life. Hallelujah.
