Odes of Solomon 35

Odae Solomontos

The gentle rains of the Lord covered me with serenity, and made a cloud of peace rise above my head;

2That it might guard me at all times. And it became salvation to me.

3All were disturbed and afraid, and smoke and judgment came from them.

4But I was quiet in the legion of the Lord; more than shade was he to me, and more than foundation.

5And I was carried like a child by its mother; and he gave me milk, the dew of the Lord.

6And I was enriched by his favor, and rested in his perfection.

7And I stretched out my hands in the ascent of myself, and directed myself toward the Most High, and was redeemed toward him. Hallelujah.
