1 The abysses were dissolved before the Lord: and darkness was destroyed by His [glory]:

2 error went astray and perished at His hand:

3 and folly found no path to walk in, and was submerged by the truth of the Lord.

4 he opened his mouth and spake grace and joy: and he spake a new song of praise to His name:

5 and he lifted up his voice to the Most High, and offered to Him the [servants] that were with him.

6 And his face was justified, for thus his holy [Lord] had given to him.

7 Come forth, ye that have been afflicted and receive joy, and possess your souls by His grace; and take to you immortal life.

8 And they made me a debtor when I rose up, me who had not been a debtor: and they divided my spoil, though nothing was due to them.

9 But I endured and held my peace and was silent, as if not moved by them.

10 But I stood unshaken like a firm rock which is beaten by the waves and endures.

11 And I bore their bitterness for humility's sake:

12 in order that I might redeem my people, and inherit it, and that I might not make void [GOD's] promises to the fathers, to whom [He] promised the salvation of their seed. Hallelujah.
