Hearken, therefore, my Lord, that I may say it clearly. The word in Booth which David
hath spoken: 'Give ye thanks unto the Lord, for he is good, for his grace is eternal,'--it is
the word which Pistis Sophia hath spoken: 'I will give thanks unto thee, O Light, for thou

art a saviour and thou art a deliverer for all time.'
24. "And the word which hath David spoken: 'Let the delivered of the Lord say this, for he
hath delivered them out of the hand of their foes,'--it is the word which Pistis Sophia
hath spoken: 'I will utter this song to the Light, for it hath saved me and saved me out of
the hand of the rulers, my foes.' And the rest of the Psalm.

25. "This then, my Lord, is the solution of the song which Pistis Sophia hath uttered in the
midst of the four-and-twenty invisibles, desiring that they should know all the wondrous
works which thou hast done for her, and desiring that they should know that thou hast
given thy mysteries to the race of men."
26. It came to pass then, when Jesus had heard Philip say these words, that he said: "Well

said, blessed Philip. This is the solution of the song which Pistis Sophia hath uttered."
