Nuhra2021 Ode 25

Ode 25 You Set a Lamp at My Right and at My Left 1 I was rescued from my bonds and fled to you, O my God, 2 because you were the right hand of my salvation and my helper. 3 You have restrained those who rise against me, and they were no more to be seen, 4 because your face was with me, which saved me by your steadfast love. 5 But I was despised and rejected in the eyes of many, and I was like worthless lead in their eyes. 6 And from you was my strength and help; 7 you set a lamp at my right and at my left, so that all around me there will be nothing without light. 8 And I was clothed with the covering of your spirit, and she removed from me my garments of skin. 9 Because your right hand lifted me up, and you took away sickness from me. 10 And I grew strong in your truth, and holy by your righteousness. 11 And all my enemies grew afraid of me, and I became the Lord’s by the Lord’s name, 12 and I was justified by his kindness, and his rest is forever and ever. Hallelujah!

About this edition

The Odes of Solomon — The Nuhra Version (2021)

Unverified edition

Reading language: eng · Original language (catalog): Ancient source language(s)

Recorded completeness: Complete authors’ supplied Nuhra2021 English edition, including translations from Syriac, Coptic and Greek, parallel source versions, dedication and editorial sigla. Its Ode2 is explicitly labelled by the authors as a hypothetical reconstruction from Greek Ode11; this label is preserved in the Ode2 body and not treated as surviving original source text. All missing-text brackets, conjectural-emendation markers and explanatory glosses are preserved without alteration. This is a modern independently public-domain-dedicated translation, not a historical printing or original-language witness.. Available reading sections are listed below.
