Platt, Jr., [1926]\nTheologians have never agreed on an explanation of this perplexing Ode.\n1 I rested in the Spirit of the Lord: and the Spirit raised me on high:\n 2 And made me stand on my feet in the height of the Lord, before His perfection and His glory, while I was praising Him by the composition of His songs.\n 3 The Spirit brought me forth before the face of the Lord: and, although a son of man, I was named the Illuminate, the Son of God:\n 4 While I praised amongst the praising ones, and great was I amongst the mighty ones.\n 5 For according to the greatness of the Most High, so He made me: and like His own newness He renewed me; and He anointed me from His own perfection:\n 6 And I became one of His Neighbours; and my mouth was opened, like a cloud of dew,\n 7 And my heart poured out as it were a gushing stream of righteousness,\n 8 And my access to Him was in peace; and I was established by the Spirit of His government. Hallelujah.","title":"The Forgotten Books of Eden: The Odes of Solomon: Ode 36","type":"page"}
