Odes of Solomon

1As the eyes of a son upon his father, so are my eyes, O Lord, at all times towards You.

2Because my breasts and my pleasure are with You.

3Turn not aside Your mercies from me, O Lord; and take not Your kindness from me.

4Stretch out to me, my Lord, at all times, Your right hand, and be to me a guide till the end according to Your will.

5Let me be pleasing before You, because of Your glory, and because of Your name let me be saved from the Evil One.

6And let Your gentleness, O Lord, abide with me, and the fruits of Your love.

7Teach me the odes of Your truth, that I may produce fruits in You.

8And open to me the harp of Your Holy Spirit, so that with every note I may praise You, O Lord.

9And according to the multitude of Your mercies, so grant unto me, and hasten to grant our petitions.

10For You are sufficient for all our needs.

11Hallelujah.
