Apocrypha · Chapter 4 of 42
Odae Solomontos
No one can pervert your holy place, O my God.
2Nor can change it and put it in another place.
3Because he has no such power.
4Your sanctuary you designed before you made the places.
5The most ancient shall not be changed by those who are lesser than it.
6You gave your heart to believers; you shall never be idle nor without fruits.
7For one hour of your faith is more precious than all days and years.
