Odes of Solomon
tr. Harris, 1911
Chapter 21
1My arms I lifted up to the Most High, even to the grace of the Lord: because He had cast off my bonds from me: and my Helper had lifted me up to His grace and to His salvation: 2and I put off darkness and clothed myself with light, 3and my soul acquired a body1 free from sorrow or affliction or pains. 4And increasingly helpful to me was the thought of the Lord, and His fellowship in incorruption: 5and I was lifted up in His light; and I served before Him, 6and I became near to Him, praising and confessing Him; 7my heart ran over and was found in my mouth: and it arose upon my lips; and the exultation of the Lord increased on my face, and His praise likewise. Hallelujah.
