6. 1  
As the hand moves over the harp, and the strings speak.
6. 2  
So speaks in my members the Spirit of the Lord, and I speak by His love.
6. 3  
For it destroys what is foreign, and everything that is bitter:
6. 4  
For thus it was from the beginning and will be to the end, that nothing should be His adversary, and nothing should stand up against Him.
6. 5  
The Lord has multiplied the knowledge of Himself, and is zealous that these things should be known, which by His grace have been given to us.
6. 6  
And the praise of His name He gave us: our spirits praise His holy Spirit.
6. 7  
For there went forth a stream and became a river great and broad;
6. 8  
For it flooded and broke up everything and it brought (water) to the Temple:
6. 9  
And the restrainers of the children of men were not able to restrain it, nor the arts of those whose business it is to restrain waters;
6. 10  
For it spread over the face of the whole earth, and filled everything: and all the thirsty upon earth were given to drink of it;
6. 11  
And thirst was relieved and quenched: for from the Most High the draught was given.
6. 12  
Blessed then are the ministers of that draught who are entrusted with that water of His:
6. 13  
They have assuaged the dry lips, and the will that had fainted they have raised up;
6. 14  
And souls that were near departing they have caught back from death:
6. 15  
And limbs that had fallen they straightened and set up:
6. 16  
They gave strength for their feebleness and light to their eyes:
6. 17  
For everyone knew them in the Lord, and they lived by the water of life for ever. Hallelujah.
