As is the motion of anger over evil, So is the motion of joy over the Beloved, And brings in of its fruits without restraint.
2My joy is the Lord, and my motion is towards Him: This path of mine is excellent.
3For I have a Helper, to the Lord. He hath shown Himself to me without grudging in His simplicity; Because His kindness has minished His greatness.
4He became like me that I might receive Him. In similitude was He reckoned like me, that I might put Him on, And I trembled not when I saw Him; Because He was gracious to me.
5Like my nature He became, that I might learn Him, And like my form, that I might not turn back from Him.
6The Father of Knowledge Is the Word of Knowledge:
7He who created Wisdom Is wiser than His works:
8And He who created me when yet I was not Knew what I should do when I came into being:
9Wherefore He pitied me in His abundant grace And granted me to ask from Him and to receive from His sacrifice;
10For He it is that is incorrupt; The perfection of the worlds and the Father of them.
11He hath given Him to appear to them that are His; That they may recognize Him that made them; And that they might not suppose that they came of themselves, For it is to Knowledge He hath appointed His way; He hath widened it and extended it and brought it to all perfection.
12And He set over it the traces of His light; And it proceeded therein even from the beginning to the end.
13For by Him He was served, And He was pleased with the Son;
14And because of His salvation He will take possession of everything; And the Most High shall be known in His saints:
15To announce to those that have songs of the coming of the Lord That they may go forth to meet Him and may sing to Him, With joy and with the harp of many tones.
16The Seers shall go before Him, And they shall be seen before Him;
17And they shall praise the Lord in His love; Because He is near and seeth;
18And hatred shall be taken from the earth; And along with jealousy it shall be drowned:
19For ignorance hath been destroyed; Because the knowledge of the Lord hath arrived.
20Let the Singers sing the grace of the Lord Most High; And let them bring their songs;
21And let their heart be like the day, And like the excellent beauty of the Lord, their harmonies; And let there be nothing without life, Nor without knowledge, nor dumb.
22For (the Lord) hath given a mouth to His creation, To open the voice of the mouth towards Him; and to praise Him;
23Confess ye His power; And show forth His grace. Hallelujah.
