- XCIX.
- You are uplifted and established,
- my elect, by the speech of truth that has come to you.
- The speech of truth came to the good,
- the truthful speech to the faithful.
- My chosen ones, you sought and found,
- again you will seek and find.
- You sought and found, my chosen ones,
- as the first thought.
- You were victorious, Mandā d-Haijē,
- and helped all your friends to victory.
- And life is victorious.
Commentary
- Here read "Blessed and praised be the life that is with these souls" (= LXX).
