Odes of Solomon

tr. Harris, 1911

Chapter 29

¹The Lord is my hope: in Him I shall not be confounded. ²For according to His praise He made me, and according to His goodness even so He gave unto me: ³and according to His mercies He exalted me: and according to His excellent beauty He set me on high: ⁴and brought me up out of the depths of Sheol: and from the mouth of death He drew me: ⁵and thou didst lay my enemies low, and He justified me by His grace. ⁶For I believed in the Lord’s Messiah¹: and it appeared to me that He is the Lord; ⁷and He showed him² His sign: and He led me by His light, and gave me the rod of His power; ⁸that I might subdue the imaginations of the peoples; and the power of the men of might to bring them low: ⁹to make war by His word, and to take victory by His power. ¹⁰And the Lord overthrew my enemy by His word; and he became like the stubble which the wind carries away; ¹¹and I gave praise to the Most High because He exalted ⌜me⌝ His servant and the son of His handmaid. Hallelujah.
