42:1
The speaker stretches out his hands and draws near the Master; the extended arms are again the sign and wooden bridge.
42:2
Those unable to hold him lose him, while those who love him remain with him.
42:3
He lives and speaks through the mouths of those joined to him.
42:4
His yoke is love, like the arm of a bridegroom around the bride and a wedding canopy over the faithful.
42:5
Though thought rejected and dead, he does not perish.
42:6
Sheol sees him and is troubled; Death vomits him out together with many others.
42:7
He descends to the lowest depth and establishes an assembly of the living among the dead.
42:8
The dead run toward him and cry for mercy, asking release from the bonds of darkness.
42:9
He opens the way out because death could not hold him.
42:10
He receives their trust, places his Name upon their heads, and calls them free children who belong to him. Hallelu-Yah. HaSefarim - Shirei Shalom we-Or Chayyim™ | 11
