every one that he should come before thee and speak the solution of the repentance of
Pistis Sophia. Now, therefore, my Lord, concerning the solution of the seventh

repentance of Pistis Sophia thy light-power hath prophesied through the prophet David
in the twenty-fourth Psalm, thus:
27. "'O Lord, unto thee have I lifted up my soul, O my God.
28. "'I have abandoned myself unto thee; let me not be put to shame and let not
mine enemies mock at me.
29. "'For all who wait upon thee shall not be put to shame; let them be put to shame

who do iniquity without a cause.
30. "'O Lord, show me thy ways and teach me thy paths.
31. "'Lead me in the way of thy truth and teach me, for thou art my God and my
saviour; on thee will I wait all the day long.

32. "'Call to remembrance thy mercies, O Lord, and the favours of thy grace, for they
are from eternity.
33. "'Remember not the sins of my youth and those of my ignorance. Remember me
according to the fulness of thy mercy because of thy goodness, O Lord.
34. "'The Lord is gracious and sincere; therefore fore will he instruct sinners in the
way.

35. "'He will guide the tender-hearted in the judgment and will teach the tender-
hearted his ways.
36. "'All the ways of the Lord are grace and truth for them who seek his
righteousness and his testimonies.

37. "'For thy name's sake, O Lord, forgive me my sin, [for] it is exceedingly great.
38. "'Who is the man who feareth the Lord? For him will he establish laws in the way
which he hath chosen.
39. "'His soul will abide in good things and his seed will inherit the land.
40. "'The Lord is the strength of them who fear him; and the name of the Lord
belongeth to them who fear him, to make known unto them his covenant.

41. "'Mine eyes are raised ever unto the Lord, for he will draw my feet out of the
snare.
42. "'Look down upon me and be gracious unto me, for I am an only-begotten; I am
wretched.
43. "'The afflictions of my heart have increased; bring me out of my necessities.

44. "'Look upon my abasement and my woe, and forgive me all my sins.
45. "'Look upon mine enemies, how they have increased themselves and hated me
with unjust hatred.
46. "'Preserve my soul and save me; let me not be put to shame, for I have hoped on
thee.
