Psalms to Sophia

From The Wisdom of Solomon

"I called upon God, and Sophia, the Spirit of Wisdom, came unto me.

"I loved Her, and sought Her out from my youth, I desired to make Her my spouse. I was a lover of Her beauty.

"She is conversant with God, She magnifieth His Nobility. Yea, the Lord of all things Himself loves Her.

"I preferred Her before Scepters and Thrones, and esteemed riches nothing in comparison to Her.

"Neither compared I unto Her any precious stone, because all gold in respect of Her is as a little sand, and silver shall be counted as clay before Her.

"I loved Her above health and beauty, and chose to have Her above Light: for the Light that cometh from Her never fails.

"Wisdom reacheth from one end of creation to another mightily: and sweetly doth She order all things.

"For Wisdom, which is the worker of all things, taught me: for in Her is an understanding spirit, holy, one only, manifold, subtle, lively, clear, undefiled, plain, not subject to hurt, loving the thing that is good, penetrating Intelligence which cannot be confounded, and always ready to do good.

"Sophia is more moving than any motion: She passeth and goeth through all things by reason of Her Purity.

"Sophia is privy to the mysteries of the knowledge of God and a lover of His works.

"She is more beautiful than the sun, and above all the order of the stars: being compared with the Light, She is found before it.

"She is the Breath of the Power of God, and a pure influence flowing from the Glory of the Almighty: therefore can no defiled thing fall into Her.

"She is the Brightness of the Everlasting Light, the unspoiled mirror of the Power of God, and the image of His Goodness.

"Being but One, She can do all things: and remaining in Herself, She maketh all things new: and in all ages entering into holy souls, She maketh them friends of God and Prophets.

"For God loveth none but him that dwelleth with Wisdom."
