1 I rested on the Spirit of the Lord: and the Spirit raised me on high:

2 and made me stand on my feet in the height of the Lord, before His perfection and His glory, while I was praising Him by the composition of His songs.

3 The Spirit brought me forth before the face of the Lord: and, although a son of man, I was named the Illuminate, [the servant] of GOD;

4 while I praised amongst the praising ones, and great was I amongst the mighty ones.

5 For according to the greatness of the Most High, so He made me: and like His own newness He renewed me; and He anointed me from His own perfection:

6 and I became one of His neighbours; and my mouth was opened, like a cloud of dew;

7 and my heart poured out as it were a gushing stream of righteousness,

8 and my access to Him was in peace; and I was established by the spirit of His government. Hallelujah.
