- And He Appeared to Me, the One Who Is the Lord
- 1 The Lord is my hope,
- in whom I will not be ashamed.
- 2 For by his glory he made me,
- and by his goodness he gave to me,
- 3 and by his love he lifted me up,
- and by his majestic beauty he exalted me.
- 4 And he caused me to ascend out of the depths of Sheol,
- and from the mouth of Death he drew me.
- 5 And I laid low my enemies,
- and he vindicated me in his steadfast love,
- 6 for I trusted in the Lord’s anointed.
- And he appeared to me, the one who is the Lord,
- 7 and showed him his sign,
- and led me by his light,
- 8 and gave me the rod of his power,
- that I might subdue the peoples’ schemes,
- and lay low the greatness of the powerful,
- 9 to wage war by his speech,
- and to seize the victory by his power.
- 10 And the Lord cast down my enemy by his speech,
- and he became like the chaff that the wind carries away.
- 11 And I gave praise to the Most High,
- because he magnified his servant,
- even the son of his handmaid.
- Hallelujah!
