- I Was Great Among the Great Ones
- 1 The spirit of the Lord rested upon me,
- and she raised me on high
- 2 and made me stand on my feet in the height of the Lord,
- before his fullness and his glory.
- While I was praising him by the composition of his odes,
- 3 she gave birth to me before the face of the Lord, even while being the bar nasha.
- I was named the enlightened son of God
- 4 while I was glorious among the glorious ones,
- and great among the great ones.
- 5 For like the greatness of the Most High, so she made me,
- and according to his renewing he renewed me.
- 6 And he anointed me from his fullness,
- and I became one of those near to him.
- 7 And my mouth was opened like a cloud of dew,
- and my heart gushed out a flood of righteousness.
- 8 And a peace offering was mine,
- and I was established in the spirit of governance.
- Hallelujah!
