CXXX: “Lauded be Thy name, O Lord my God! Thou seest…” |
|
Lauded be Thy name, O Lord my God! Thou seest
how Thy servants have everywhere been compassed
with tribulations, how their adversaries have all risen
up against them and grievously wronged them. Thy
glory beareth me witness! Were all the wicked doers
218
of the earth to band themselves against us, and to cast
us into a fire such as no man hath kindled, they would
be powerless to distract our gaze from the horizon of
Thy name, the Most Exalted, the Most High, and
would fail to turn aside our hearts from the seat of
Thine effulgent glory.

|
I swear by Thy might! The arrows that transfix
us in Thy path are the ornaments of our temples,
and the spears which pierce us in our love for Thee
are as silk unto our bodies. By the glory of Thy
might! Nothing whatsoever can beseem Thy servants
except what the pen of Thine irrevocable decree hath
traced in this priceless and exalted Tablet.
