Apocrypha · Chapter 6 of 42
Odae Solomontos
As the hand moves over the harp and the strings speak.
2So speaks in my members the Spirit of the Lord, and I speak by his love.
3For he destroys what is strange and everything is of the Lord.
4For thus it was from the beginning and shall be until the end.
5Nothing shall be contrary, and nothing shall rise up against him.
6The Lord has multiplied his knowledge, and was zealous to make known the things given by his grace.
7And he gave us praise for his name, our spirits praise his holy Spirit.
