1
Now when the Lord had ceased speaking with me, I praised the Lord saying, Thy servant hath sought thee earnestly; now have I found thee.
2
Thou didst send thine angels to deliver me from death many times; shall I not do all things which the Lord my God requireth of me?
3
Blessed art thou, O Lord, who bestowest thy love without measure upon the righteous but hatest all iniquity.
4
But I have kept thy statutes to walk therein and have received thine ordinances unto myself, where thou hast blessed me with the Spirit of knowledge and truth.
5
For my part, I will love thee freely with all my heart and soul.
6
I will cleave to thine holy law to not turn aside therefrom in all thou hast commanded.
7
I have learned through the gift of thine Holy Spirit that no man is able to choose his own way nor direct his own steps for all such will fall into the pit.
8
In thine hand is the shaping of each man's soul which thou hast foreordained to conform to the image of thy Son.
9
Wherefore, I will embrace the Son and call upon God for mercy for evermore. Amen.
