Apocrypha · Chapter 37 of 42
Odae Solomontos
I stretched out my hands to the Lord; And to the Most High I lifted my voice;
2And I spake with the lips of my heart; And He heard me when my voice reached Him.
3His Word came to me, And gave me the fruits of my labours:
4And gave me rest by the grace of the Lord. Hallelujah.
