I sing a song unto thee; through thy commandment hast thou led me down out of the higher aeon which is above, and hast led me up to the regions which are below.
2And again through thy commandment thou hast saved me out of the regions which are below, and through thee hast thou taken there the matter in my light-powers, and I have seen it.
3And thou hast scattered far from me the emanations of Self-willed which constrained me and were hostile to me, and hast bestowed power on me to loose myself from the bonds of the emanations of Adamas.
4And thou hast smitten the basilisk with the seven heads and cast it out with my hands and hast set me above its matter. Thou hast destroyed it, so that its seed may not raise itself up from now on.
5And thou wert with me, giving me power in all this, and thy light surrounded me in all regions, and through thee hast thou made all the emanations of Self-willed powerless.
6For thou hast taken the power of their light from them and made straight my way to lead me out of the chaos.
7And thou hast removed me from the material darknesses and taken from them all my powers, from which the light had been taken.
8Thou hast put into them purified light and unto all my limbs, in which was no light, thou hast given purified light from the Light of the Height.
9And thou hast made straight the way for them, and the light of thy face hath become for me life indestructible.
10Thou hast led me forth above the chaos, the region of chaos and extermination, in order that all the matters in it which are in that region, might be unloosed and all my powers be renewed in thy light, and thy light be in them all.
