- He filled me with His love--even more love than my natural body could receive.
- He confounded my plotting brothers, causing them to quake before me.
- He heard my prayers by day, and
- He gave me knowledge through visions by night.
By day I've been bold in mighty prayer, sending my voice on high, and angels have come to me. And upon the wings of His Spirit my body has been carried away to high mountains.
I've seen great things — too great to be known out of the Spirit, so I was forbidden to write them.
Having seen so many great things, and knowing the Lord visits His children in mercy,
- why should my heart and soul continue in sorrow and the strength of my spirit weaken in despair?
- Why should I let the devil continue to afflict my soul, to destroy my peace and have a place in my heart?
- Why am I angry with myself and the devil because of the weakness of my flesh, which has given in to temptation and sinned?
Awake, my soul! Stop sorrowing in sin.
Rejoice, oh my heart, and make no room for the devil's despair. Don't be angry again because of my enemies. Be peaceful and strong.
Rejoice, oh my heart, and cry,
- Oh Lord, I will praise Thee forever. My soul will rejoice in Thee, my God, the rock of my salvation.
- Oh Lord, redeem my soul. Deliver me out of my enemies’ hands. Make me shake even at the appearance of sin!
