A Manichaean Psalm

I am in all things.

I carry the skies.

I am the Foundation.

I support the earths.

I am the Light that shines forth,

that gives joy to the souls.

I am the life of the world:

I am the milk that is in all trees:

I am the sweet water that is beneath the sons of matter...

i bore these things until I had

fulfilled the will of my father:

the First Man is my father

whoese will I have carried out ...

O soul,

raise your eyes to the height

and contemplate your bond ...

look, your Fathers are calling you."
