Psalms of Solomon

Chapter 7

  1. 1 Make not Thy dwelling afar from us, O God; Lest they assail us that hate us without cause.
  2. 2 For Thou hast rejected them, O God; Let not their foot trample upon Thy holy inheritance.
  3. 3 Chasten us Thyself in Thy good pleasure; But give (us) not up to the nations;
  4. 4 For, if Thou sendest pestilence, Thou Thyself givest it charge concerning us; (5) For Thou art merciful, And wilt not be angry to the point of consuming us.
  5. 5 While Thy name dwelleth in our midst, we shall find mercy;
  6. 6 And the nations shall not prevail against us. (7) For Thou art our shield,
  7. 7 And when we call upon Thee, Thou hearkenest to us;
  8. 8 For Thou wilt pity the seed of Israel for ever And Thou wilt not reject (them): (9) But we (shall be) under Thy yoke for ever, And (under) the rod of Thy chastening.
  9. 9 Thou wilt establish us in the time that Thou helpest us, Showing mercy to the house of Jacob on the day wherein Thou didst promise (to help them).
