Platt, Jr., [1926]\nThis Ode is as beautiful in style as the canonical Psalter.\n1 As the eyes of a son to his father, so are my eyes, O Lord, at all times towards thee.\n 2 For with thee are my consolations and my delight.\n 3 Turn not away thy mercies from me, O Lord: and take not thy kindness from me.\n 4 Stretch out to me, O Lord, at all times thy right hand: and be my guide even unto the end, according to thy good pleasure.\n 5 Let me be well-pleasing before thee, because of thy glory and because of thy name:\n 6 Let me be preserved from evil, and let thy meekness, O Lord, abide with me, and the fruits of thy love.\n 7 Teach me the Psalms of thy truth, that I may bring forth fruit in thee:\n 8 And open to me the harp of thy Holy Spirit, that with all its notes I may praise thee, O Lord.\n 9 And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies, so thou shalt give to me; and hasten to grant our petitions; and thou art able for all our needs. Hallelujah.","title":"The Forgotten Books of Eden: The Odes of Solomon: Ode 14","type":"page"}
