Nuhra2021 Ode 26
From the Syriac Ode 26 Who Can Compose the Odes of the Lord? 1 I poured out praise to the Lord, because I am his. 2 And I will recite his Kedushah ode, because my heart is with him. 3 For his lyre is in my hands, and the odes of his repose will never cease in silence. 4 I will call to him with all my heart; I will praise and exalt him with all my limbs. 5 For from the east to the west is his hymn, 6 and from the south to the north is his thanksgiving, 7 and from the top of the hills to their farthest reach is his fullness. 8 Who can compose the odes of the Lord, or who recite them? 9 Or who can teach (the Lord’s) soul to live, so that they would redeem (the Lord’s) soul? 10 Or what person could impose upon the Most High, so that with their mouth (the Most High) might speak? 11 Who is able to interpret the Lord’s Wonders? For because to interpret would be to interpret away oneself, and (the Lord’s Wonders) that had been interpreted would remain. 12 For it is enough to know and to rest, for in rest the psalmists remain in existence, 13 like a river that has a richly abundant spring, and that keeps flowing for the help of those who study it. Hallelujah!

All missing-text brackets, conjectural-emendation markers and explanatory glosses are preserved without alteration.
