Sol 5.6

  1. My God, by what You revealed of the secret of Your Name, the—

    Wise, to those sustained by You through wisdom;

  2. and by what they drew from the sea of the secrets of Your Name, the—

    Wise, of gnosis and wisdom;

  3. by how the workmanship of Your Name, the—

    Wise, brought creative origination to its utmost creative bounds;

  4. by how He cast the effects from a power belonging to Him,

    upon the mold of perfection, down to every last atom;

  5. by Your holiness in all acts, free of every futile act;

    Sovereignty is Yours; the servant has not an atom’s share in it;

  6. by the truth that none but You has known You, my Master;

    for You are the true Wise One throughout all existence;

  7. by the truth that You brought forth the wondrous creations in absolute freedom,

    according to the finest ordering, for what is most fitting;

  8. by the truth that You measured out the crafted things, and there shone

    upon them the proof of pre-eternal wisdom;

  9. by Your forming of things—many a beautiful thing,

    wherein suns of the True One’s beauty revealed themselves;

  10. by Your transcendence, in creation, above causality;

    by Your transcendence, in creation, above purposiveness:

  11. through Your wisdom, open for me a wisdom drawn from goodness,

    for goodness finds its resting place wherever that wisdom settles.
