Odes de Salomão — Ode 10

1The Lord hath directed my mouth by His word: and He hath opened my heart by His light: and He hath caused to dwell in me His deathless life;

2and gave me that I might speak the fruit of His peace:

3to convert the souls of them who are willing to come to Him: and to lead captive a good captivity for freedom.

4I was strengthened and made mighty and took the world captive;

5and it became to me for the praise of the Most High, and of God my Father.

6And the Gentiles were gathered together who were scattered abroad.

7And I was unpolluted by my love [for them], because they confessed me in high places: and the traces of the light were set upon their heart:

8and they walked in my life and were saved and became my people for ever and ever. Hallelujah.
