Chapter 89


1

Then rose up my wife Judith who danced and sang, saying, Praise the Lord who hath shown me the wonders of his ways.

2

For as I lay upon my bed enwrapped in the ecstasies of the Holy Spirit, when the Spirit rushed into me I saw the vision of the Almighty and heard that which is unlawful to be spoken.

3

Yea, O Lord, thou hast visited me and I have heard thy wondrous secret and I know that it is true. Through thine Holy Spirit, through the rites of thine holy priesthood, through the glorious inner vision to which thou didst open my mind in the moment of passion, thou hast caused a spring of knowledge to well up within me, a fountain of strength and power, of loving kindness and glory in my God.

4

Thou hast put an end to the darkness of the world in me and the splendor of thy glory hath become in me an eternal light.

5

Wherefore, I will praise thy name forever and give myself unto thee.
