Ode XL

As honey drips from the honeycomb of bees, so also is my hope upon you, O my God.

1.

As honey drips from the honeycomb of bees, and milk flows from the woman who loves her children,
so also is my hope upon you, O my God.

2.

As a spring gushes forth its waters, so my heart gushes forth the praise of the Lord,
and my lips bring forth praise to him.

3.

And my tongue is sweet in his conversation,
and my members move in his songs.

4.

And my face rejoices in his exultation, and my spirit leaps in his love,
and my soul shines in him.

5.

And he who fears shall trust in him,
and salvation shall be established in him.

6.

And his gain is immortal life,
and those who receive it are incorruptible.
Hallelujah.
