The Lord hath brought me into the House of Darkness; by
.......stealth hath the Lord drawn me into Night.I beheld blackness that encompassed me; mine eyes were
.......darkened in the house of darkness.There came into my nostrils the scent of a great river; even
.......of a river that boileth secretly under the palm-trees.I lifted mine head, and behold, the Lord stood forth in the
.......blackness.As a pillar of fire shone the Lord; as a devil that whirleth in
.......the wilderness of sand.The Lord hath veiled Himself in purple; the Lord hath ex-
.......alted himself in manifestation.The Lord went before me into the darkness; the Lord hewed
.......Him a way into the forest of Night.The Glory of the Lord was as the sunrise upon black moun-
.......tains; the Lord shone forth as the full moon on the dark river.Then went I forth into the city, praising the Lord; I cried
.......aloud in my joy, I made songs unto the Lord, the living
.......God.I will follow the Lord all the days of my life, and in the hour
.......of my death let the Lord lead me into the House Ever-
.......lasting.{126}
