Apocrypha · Chapter 8 of 42
Odae Solomontos
Open your hearts to the exultation of the Lord.
2And let your love grow from the heart to the lips.
3To produce fruits to the Lord, a holy life.
4And to speak with watchfulness in his light.
5Arise and stand, you who were brought low.
6You who were in silence, speak, for your mouth has been opened.
7You who were despised, now be lifted up, for your righteousness has been raised.
8For the right hand of the Lord is with you, and he is your helper.
