Odes of Solomon 35

Odae Solomontos

Ler em portuguêsCompare PT / EN

The dew of the Lord distilled rest upon me, And a cloud of peace it caused to rise over my head;

2That it might guard me continually; And it became salvation to me:

3Everybody was shaken and affrighted; And there came forth from them a smoke and a judgement:

4But I was keeping quiet in the ranks of the Lord; More than shadow was He to me, and more than support:

5And I was carried like a child by its mother; And He gave me milk, the dew of the Lord.

6And I grew great by His bounty: And I rested in His perfection:

7And I spread out my hands in the lifting up of my soul; And I directed myself towards the Most High, And I was redeemed with Him: Hallelujah.
