Odes of Solomon 14

Odae Solomontos

Ler em portuguêsCompare PT / EN

As the eyes of a son to his father, So are my eyes at all time towards thee, O Lord.

2For with thee are my consolations and my delights.

3Turn not away thy mercy from me, O Lord: And take not thy kindness from me.

4Stretch out to me, my Lord, at all times, thy right hand; And be my guide even to the end, according to thy good pleasure.

5Let me be well-pleasing before thee, because of thy glory: And because of thy name let me be saved from the Evil One.

6And let thy gentleness, O Lord, abide with me, And the fruits of thy love.

7Teach me the Odes of thy truth That I may bring forth fruit in thee.

8And open to me the harp of thy Holy Spirit, That with all (its) notes I may praise thee, O Lord.

9And according to the multitude of thy mercies So shalt thou give to me: And hasten to grant our petitions.

10And thou art able for all our needs. Hallelujah.
