Ode 21

1.     I lifted up my arms on high on account of the compassion of the Lord.

2.     Because He cast off my bonds from me, and my Helper lifted me up according to His compassion and His salvation.

3.     And I put off darkness, and put on light.

4.     And even I myself acquired members. In them there was no sickness or affliction or suffering.

5.     And abundantly helpful to me was the thought of the Lord, and His everlasting fellowship.

6.     And I was lifted up in the light, and I passed before Him.

7.     And I was constantly near Him, while praising and confessing Him.

8.     He caused my heart to overflow, and it was found in my mouth; and it sprang forth unto my lips.

9.     Then upon my face increased the exultation of the Lord and His praise.
Hallelujah.
