Odes de Salomão — Ode 14

1As the eyes of a son to his father, so are my eyes, O Lord, at all times towards thee.

2For with thee are my consolations (lit. breasts) and my delight.

3Turn not away thy mercies from me, O Lord: and take not thy kindness from me.

4Stretch out to me, O Lord, at all times thy right hand: and be my guide even unto the end, according to thy good pleasure.

5Let me be well-pleasing before thee, because of thy glory and because of thy name:

6let me be preserved from evil, and let thy meekness, O Lord, abide with me, and the fruits of thy love.

7Teach me the Psalms of thy truth, that I may bring forth fruit in thee:

8and open to me the harp of thy Holy Spirit, that with all its notes I may praise thee, O Lord.

9And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies, so thou shalt give to me; and hasten to grant our petitions; and thou art able for all our needs. Hallelujah.
