Odes of Solomon 36

Odae Solomontos

Ler em portuguêsCompare PT / EN

I rested on the Spirit of the Lord; And (the Spirit) raised me on high:

2And made me to stand on my feet in the high place of the Lord; Before His perfection and His glory; While I was praising (Him) by the composition of His odes.

3(The Spirit) brought me forth before the face of the Lord. And although a Son of Man, I was named the Luminary, the Son of God:

4While I was the most glorified among the glorious ones; And the greatest among the great ones.

5For according to the greatness of the Most High, so she made me; And like His own newness He renewed me:

6And He anointed me from His own perfection; And I became one of those that are near to Him;

7And my mouth was opened like a cloud of dew; And my heart gushed out, as it were, a gush of righteousness;

8And my access (to Him) was in peace: And I was established in the Spirit of Providence. Hallelujah.
