Odes of Solomon 36

Odae Solomontos

I rested on the Spirit of the Lord, and She lifted me up to heaven;

2And made me stand in the high places of the Lord, before his perfection and his glory, where I continued glorifying him by the composition of his Odes.

3The Spirit brought me before the face of the Lord, and because I was the Son of Man, I was named the Light, the Son of God;

4Because I was the most glorified among the glorious, and the greatest among the great.

5For according to the greatness of the Most High, so She made me; and according to his newness He renewed me.

6And he anointed me with his perfection; and I became one of those who are near him.

7And my mouth was opened like a cloud of dew, and my heart gushed forth like a geyser of righteousness.

8And my approach was in peace, and I was established in the Spirit of Providence. Hallelujah.
