Ode XXXIX

The Lord bridged them by his word, and he walked and crossed them on foot.

1.

The mighty rivers are the power of the Lord,
which bring those who despise him headlong.

2.

And they entangle their paths,
and destroy their crossings.

3.

And they seize their bodies,
and corrupt their souls.

4.

For they are swifter than lightning,
and faster.

5.

But those who cross them in faith
shall not be moved.

6.

And those who walk on them without blemish
shall not be troubled.

7.

Because the sign in them is the Lord,
and the sign is the way of those who cross in the name of the Lord.

8.

Put on therefore the name of the Most High and know him, and you shall cross without danger,
for the rivers shall be obedient to you.

9.

The Lord bridged them by his word,
and he walked and crossed them on foot.

10.

And his footprints stand upon the waters and are not destroyed,
but they are like wood that is established in truth.

11.

And on this side and on that the waves were rising,
but the footprints of our Lord Messiah stand firm.

12.

And they are not blotted out,
nor destroyed.

13.

And a way was set for those who cross after him,
and for those who follow the path of his faith,
and worship his name.
Hallelujah.
