Thanksgiving Psalms at the Dead Sea Scrolls VI {iii, 19-36}

"I am grateful Heavenly Father,
for Thou hast raised me to eternal height
and I walk to the wonder of the plain,"

"Thou gavest me guidance to, reach Thine eternal

    company
from the depths of the earth."

"Thou has purified my body

to the join the army of the angels of the earth,
and my spirit to reach.
the congregation of the heavenly angels."

"Thou gavest man eternity

to praise at dawn and dusk
Thy works and wonders
in joyful song"
