[39] τούτου τοῦ γανώματος ἀκράτου τις σπάσας, ὁ τοῦ Μωυσέως δὴ θιασώτης, ὃς οὐχὶ τῶν ἠμελημένων
ἦν, ἐν ὑμνῳδίαις ἀνεφθέγξατο πρὸς τὸν ἴδιον νοῦν φάσκων „κατατρύφησον τοῦ κυρίου“ (Psalm. 36,4), παρακεκινημένος πρὸς τὸν οὐράνιον καὶ θεῖον ἔρωτα τῇ φωνῇ, τὰς μὲν ἐν τοῖς λεγομένοις καὶ φαινομένοις ἀνθρωπίνοις ἀγαθοῖς χλιδὰς καὶ θρύψεις ἀλήκτους δυσχεράνας, ὅλον δὲ τὸν νοῦν ὑπὸ θείας κατοχῆς συναρπασθεὶς οἴστρῳ καὶ
ἐνευφραινόμενος μόνῳ θεῷ.

[39] He, then, who had drunk of this unmixed source of joy, and was a follower of and fellow rejoicer with Moses, and not one of the least valued of that body, in his Psalms addressed his own mind, saying, "Delight thou in the Lord." ¹ Exciting himself and his mind towards heavenly and divine love by these words, and indignantly turning away from the luxury and effeminacy existing among what are called and believed to be human goods; and being hurried away in his whole heart by divine inspiration and fervour, and finding his joy in God alone.
