Songs of the Sage
The Master sings to terrify the spirits of the destroyer — the angels of destruction, the spirits of the bastards, the demons of darkness, Lilith, the howlers, and them that strike unawares.
1And I, the Master, declare the splendour of His radiance, that I might frighten and terrify all the spirits of the destroying angels — even the spirits of the bastards, the demons, Lilith, the howlers, and them that go forth, and them that strike unawares to lead astray the spirit of understanding, and to make their hearts desolate during the present rule of wickedness.
2Sing for joy, O ye righteous, in the God of wonder. My psalms are for the upright. The God of all the holy ones, lift up your voices unto Him, even unto the King of glory, that doeth wonders. He hath sanctified for Himself a sanctuary among His holy ones; even an everlasting holiness in the midst of His chosen ones, that they may stand in praise before Him.
3And I, in the fear of God, declare His glory, that all the spirits of the bastards may be terrified — that they may flee away from before His face. They shall not approach the children of the holy ones; they shall not gather to do the deeds of darkness against them. The chosen ones of righteousness — they are sealed of God.
4Blessed art Thou, O God of mercies and grace; even because of the marvels of Thy greatness. Thou hast set apart for Thyself the saints, that we may be wonderful witnesses among all Thy mighty works. We shall recount Thy name continually; we shall sing for joy in the season of Thy might.
5Ye children of the spirits of darkness — ye that defile the holy, ye that lead astray the chosen — depart ye from before His face. Have no portion in the inheritance of the holy; have no place at the table of the chosen. The Lord rebuke thee, even the Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee.
6And I, the Master, declare His holy splendour. By the spirit of holiness, by the spirit of fear, by the spirit of love, by the spirit of joy, by the spirit of patience, by the spirit of mercy, by the spirit of truth — by all these I terrify the spirits of darkness. They shall not abide; they shall not dwell; they shall flee away unto the dark places that are appointed for them.
