Pistis Sophia 69

Wisdom of Faith

Ler em portuguêsCompare PT / EN

I am saved from the bonds and am fled unto thee, O Lord.

2For thou hast been on my right hand, saving me and helping me.

3Thou hast hindered my adversaries and they have not been revealed, because thy face was with me, saving me in thy grace.

4I was despised in the sight of many and cast out; I have become as lead in their sight.

5Through thee I have gotten a power which helped me; for thou hast set lamps on my right and on my left, so that no side of me may be without light.

6Thou hast overshadowed me with the shadow of thy grace, and I was relieved of the coats of skin.

7It is thy right hand which hath raised me up, and thou hast taken the sickness from me.

8I have become powerful in thy truth and purified in thy righteousness.
