The Psalms of Solomon
I 1 I cried unto the Lord when I was in distress [
], Unto God when sinners assailed. 2 Suddenly the alarm of war was heard before me; (I
said), He will hearken to me, for I am full of righteousness. 3 I thought in my heart that
I was full of righteousness, Because I was well off and had become rich in children. 4
Their wealth spread to the whole earth, And their glory unto the end of the earth. 5 They
were exalted unto the stars; They said they would never fall. 6 But they became insolent
in their prosperity, And they were without understanding, 7 Their sins were in secret, And
even I had no knowledge (of them). 8 Their transgressions (went) beyond those of the
heathen before them; They utterly polluted the holy things of the Lord.
II. A Psalm Of Solomon. Concerning
Jerusalem.
2 1 When the sinner waxed proud, with a
battering-ram he cast down fortified walls, And Thou didst not restrain (him). 2 Alien
nations ascended Thine altar, They trampled (it) proudly with their sandals; 3 Because the
sons of Jerusalem had defiled the holy things of the Lord, Had profaned with iniquities
the offerings of God. 4 Therefore He said: Cast them far from Me; 5 It was set at naught
before God, It was utterly dishonoured; 6 The sons and the daughters were in grievous
captivity, Sealed (?) (was) their neck, branded (?) (was it) among the nations. 7
According to their sins hath He done unto them, For He hath left them in the hands of them
that prevailed. 8 He hath turned away His face from pitying them, Young and old and their
children together; 9 For they had done evil one and all, in not hearkening. 10 (9) And the
heavens were angry, And the earth abhorred them; 11 For no man upon it had done what they
did, 12 (10) And the earth recognized all Thy righteous judgements, O God. 13 (11) They
set the sons of Jerusalem to be mocked at in return for (the) harlots in her; Every
wayfarer entered in in the full light of day. 14 (12) They made mock with their
transgressions, as they themselves were wont to do; In the full light of day they revealed
their iniquities. (13) And the daughters of Jerusalem were defiled in accordance with Thy
judgement, 15 Because they had defiled themselves with unnatural intercourse. (14) I am
pained in my bowels and my inward parts for these things. (15) (And yet) I will justify
Thee, O God, in uprightness of heart, For in Thy judgements is Thy righteousness
(displayed), O God. 17 (16) For Thou hast rendered to the sinners according to their
deeds, Yea according to their sins, which were very wicked. 18 (17) Thou hast uncovered
their sins, that Thy judgement might be manifest; 19 Thou hast wiped out their memorial
from the earth. (18) God is a righteous judge, And He is no respecter of persons. 20 (19)
For the nations reproached Jerusalem, trampling it down; Her beauty was dragged down from
the throne of glory. 21 (20) She girded on sackcloth instead of comely raiment, A rope
(was) about her head instead of a crown. 22 (21) She put off the glorious diadem which God
had set upon her, 23 In dishonour was her beauty cast upon the ground. 24 (22) And I saw
and entreated the Lord and said, Long enough, O Lord, has Thine hand been heavy on Israel,
in bringing the nations upon (them). 25 (23) For they have made sport unsparingly in wrath
and fierce anger; 26 And they will make an utter end, unless Thou, O Lord, rebuke them in
Thy wrath. 27 (24) For they have done it not in zeal, but in lust of soul, 28 Pouring out
their wrath upon us with a view to rapine. 29 (25) Delay not, O God, to recompense them on
(their) heads, To turn the pride of the dragon into dishonour. 30(26) And I had not long
to wait before God showed me the insolent one Slain on the mountains of Egypt, Esteemed of
less account than the least on land and sea; 31 (27) His body, ( too,) borne hither and
thither on the billows with much insolence, With none to bury (him), because He had
rejected him with dishonour. (28) He reflected not that he was man. 32 And reflected not
on the latter end; 33 (29) He said: I will be lord of land and sea; And he recognized not
that it is God who is great, Mighty in His great strength. 34 (30) He is king over the
heavens, And judgeth kings and kingdoms. 35 (31) (It is He) who setteth me up in glory,
And bringeth down the proud to eternal destruction in dishonour, Because they knew Him
not. 36 (32) And now behold, ye princes of the earth, the judgement of the Lord, For a
great king and righteous (is He), judging (all) that is under heaven. 37 (33) Bless God,
ye that fear the Lord with wisdom, For the mercy of the Lord will be upon them that fear
Him, in the Judgement; 38 (34) So that He will distinguish between the righteous and the
sinner, (And) recompense the sinners for ever according to their deeds; 39 (35) And have
mercy on the righteous, (delivering him) from the affliction of the sinner, And
recompensing the sinner for what he hath done to the righteous. 40 (36) For the Lord is
good to them that call upon Him in patience, Doing according to His mercy to His pious
ones, Establishing (them) at all times before Him in strength. 41 (37) Blessed be the Lord
for ever before His servants.
III. A Psalm Of Solomon. Concerning the
righteous.
3 1 Why sleepest thou, O my soul, And blessest not
the Lord? 2 Sing a new song, Unto God who is worthy to be praised. Sing and be wakeful
against His awaking, For good is a psalm (sung) to God from a glad heart. 3 The righteous
remember the Lord at all times, With thanksgiving and declaration of the righteousness of
the Lord's judgements 4 The righteous despiseth not the chastening of the Lord; His will
is always before the Lord. 5 The righteous stumbleth and holdeth the Lord righteous: He
falleth and looketh out for what God will do to him; 6 He seeketh out whence his
deliverance will come. 7 (6) The steadfastness of the righteous is from God their
deliverer; There lodgeth not in the house of the righteous sin upon sin. 8 (7) The
righteous continually searcheth his house, To remove utterly (all) iniquity (done) by him
in error. 9 (8) He maketh atonement for (sins of) ignorance by fasting and afflicting his
soul, 10 And the Lord counteth guiltless every pious man and his house. 11 (9) The sinner
stumbleth and curseth his life, The day when he was begotten, and his mother's travail. 12
(10) He addeth sins to sins, while he liveth (?); 13 He falleth -verily grievous is his
fall- and riseth no more. (11) The destruction of the sinner is for ever, 14 And he shall
not be remembered, when the righteous is visited. (12) 15 This is the portion of sinners
for ever. 16 But they that fear the Lord shall rise to life eternal, And their life (shall
be) in the light of the Lord, and shall come to an end no more.
IV. A Conversation of Solomon with the
Men-pleasers.
4 1 Wherefore sittest thou, O profane (man), in
the council of the pious, Seeing that thy heart is far removed from the Lord, Provoking
with transgressions the God of Israel? 2 Extravagant in speech, extravagant in outward
seeming beyond all (men), Is he that is severe of speech in condemning sinners in
judgement. 3 And his hand is first upon him as (though he acted) in zeal, And (yet) he is
himself guilty in respect of manifold sins and of wantonness. 4 His eyes are upon every
woman without distinction; His tongue lieth when he maketh contract with an oath. 5 By
night and in secret he sinneth as though unseen, With his eyes he talketh to every woman
of evil compacts. 6 He is swift to enter every house with cheerfulness as though
guileless. 7 (6) Let God remove those that live in hypocrisy in the company of the pious,
(Even) the life of such an one with corruption of his flesh and penury. 8 (7) Let God
reveal the deeds of the men-pleasers, The deeds of such an one with laughter and derision;
9 (8) That the pious may count righteous the judgement of their God, When sinners are
removed from before the righteous, 10 (Even the) man- pleaser who uttereth law guilefully.
11 (9) And their eyes (are fixed) upon any man's house that is (still) secure, That they
may, like (the) Serpent, destroy the wisdom of... with words of transgressors, 12 (10) His
words are deceitful that (he) may accomplish (his) wicked desire. 13 He never ceaseth from
scattering (families) as though (they were) orphans, (11) Yea, he layeth waste a house on
account of (his) lawless desire. 14 He deceiveth with words, (saying,) There is none that
seeth, or judgeth. 15 (12) He fills one (house) with lawlessness, And (then) his eyes (are
fixed) upon the next house, To destroy it with words that give wing to (desire). (13)
(Yet) with all these his soul, like Sheol, is not sated. 16 Let his portion, O Lord, be
dishonoured before thee; Let him go forth groaning and come home cursed. 17 (15) Let his
life be (spent) in anguish, and penury, and want, O Lord; Let his sleep be (beset) with
pains and his awaking with perplexities. 18 (16) Let sleep be withdrawn from his eyelids
at night; Let him fail dishonorably in every work of his hands. 19 (17) Let him come home
empty-handed to his house, And his house be void of everything wherewith he could sate his
appetite. 20 (18) (Let) his old age (be spent) in childless loneliness until his removal
(by death). 21 (19) Let the flesh of the men-pleasers be rent by wild beasts, And (let)
the bones of the lawless (lie) dishonoured in the sight of the sun. 22 (20) Let ravens
peck out the eyes of the hypocrites. 23 For they have laid waste many houses of men, in
dishonour, And scattered (them) in (their) lust; 24 (21) And they have not remembered God,
Nor feared God in all these things; 25 But they have provoked God's anger and vexed Him.
(22) May He remove them from off the earth, Because with deceit they beguiled the souls of
the flawess. 26 (23) Blessed are they that fear the Lord in their flawlessness; 27 The
Lord shall deliver them from guileful men and sinners, And deliver us from every
stumbling-block of the lawless (men). 28 (24) Let God destroy them that insolently work
all unrighteousness, For a great and mighty judge is the Lord our God in righteousness. 29
(28) Let Thy mercy, O Lord, be upon all them that love Thee.
V. A Psalm Of Solomon
5 1 O Lord God, I will praise Thy name with joy,
In the midst of them that know Thy righteous judgements. 2 For Thou art good and merciful,
the refuge of the poor; 3 When I cry to Thee, do not silently disregard me. 4 (3) For no
man taketh spoil from a mighty man; 5 Who, then, can take aught of all that Thou hast
made, except Thou Thyself givest? 6 (4) For man and his portion (lie) before Thee in the
balance; He cannot add to, so as to enlarge, what has been prescribed by Thee. O God, 7
(5) when we are in distress we call upon Thee for help, And Thou dost not turn back our
petition, for Thou art our God. 8 (6) Cause not Thy hand to be heavy upon us, Lest through
necessity we sin. 9 (7) Even though Thou restore us not, we will not keep away; But unto
Thee will we come. 10 (8) For if I hunger, unto Thee will I cry, O God; And Thou wilt give
to me. 11 (9) Birds and fish dost Thou nourish, In that Thou givest rain to the steppes
that green grass may spring up, (10) (So) to prepare fodder in the steppe for every living
thing; 12 And if they hunger, unto Thee do they lift up their face. 13 (11) Kings and
rulers and peoples Thou dost nourish, O God; And who is the help of the poor and needy, if
not Thou, O Lord? 14 (12) And Thou wilt hearken -for who is good and gentle but Thou?-
Making glad the soul of the humble by opening Thine hand in mercy. 15 (13) Man's goodness
is (bestowed) grudgingly and ..., And if he repeat (it) without murmuring, even that is
marvellous. 16 (14) But Thy gift is great in goodness and wealth, And he whose hope is
(set) on Thee shall have no lack of gifts. 17 (15) Upon the whole earth is Thy mercy, O
Lord, in goodness. 18 (16) Happy is he whom God remembereth in (granting to him) a due
sufficiency; 19 If a man abound over much, he sinneth. 20 (17) Sufficient are moderate
means with righteousness, And hereby the blessing of the Lord (becomes) abundance with
righteousness. 21 (18) They that fear the Lord rejoice in good (gifts), And Thy goodness
is upon Israel in Thy kingdom. Blessed is the glory of the Lord for He is our king.
VI. In Hope. Of Solomon.
6 1 Happy is the man whose heart is fixed to call
upon the name of the Lord; 2 When he remembereth the name of the Lord, he will be saved. 3
(2) His ways are made even by the Lord, And the works of his hands are preserved by the
Lord his God. 4 (3) At what he sees in his bad dreams, his soul shall not be troubled; 5
When he passes through rivers and the tossing of the seas, he shall not be dismayed. 6 (4)
He ariseth from his sleep, and blesseth the name of the Lord: 7 When his heart is at
peace, he singeth to the name of his God, (5) And he entreateth the Lord for all his
house. 8 And the Lord heareth the prayer of every one that feareth God, (6) And every
request of the soul that hopes for Him doth the Lord accomplish. 9 Blessed is the Lord,
who showeth mercy to those who love Him in sincerity.
VII. Of Solomon. Of turning.
7 1 Make not Thy dwelling afar from us, O God;
Lest they assail us that hate us without cause. 2 For Thou hast rejected them, O God; Let
not their foot trample upon Thy holy inheritance. 3 Chasten us Thyself in Thy good
pleasure; But give (us) not up to the nations; 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 (6) While Thy name dwelleth in our midst, we shall find
mercy; 6 And the nations shall not prevail against us. (7) For Thou art our shield, 7 And
when we call upon Thee, Thou hearkenest to us; 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 (10) 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).
VIII. Of Solomon. Of the chief Musician.
8 1 Distress and the sound of war hath my ear
heard; The sound of a trumpet announcing slaughter and calamity, 2 The sound of much
people as of an exceeding high wind, As a tempest with mighty fire sweeping through the
Negeb. 3 And I said in my heart; Surely (?) God judgeth us; 4 A sound I hear (moving)
towards Jerusalem, the holy city. 5 My loins were broken at what I heard, (5) my knees
tottered: 6 My heart was afraid, my bones were dismayed like flax. 7 (6) I said: They
establish their ways in righteousness. (7) I thought upon the judgements of God since the
creation of heaven and earth; I held God righteous in His judgements which have been from
of old. 8 God laid bare their sins in the full light of day; All the earth came to know
the righteous judgements of God. 9 In secret places underground their iniquities (were
committed) to provoke (Him) to anger; 10 They wrought confusion, son with mother and
father with daughter; 11 (10) They committed adultery, every man with his neighbour's
wife. They concluded covenants with one another with an oath touching these things; 12
(11) They plundered the sanctuary of God, as though there was no avenger. 13 (12) They
trode the altar of the Lord, (coming straight) from all manner of uncleanness; And with
menstrual blood they defiled the sacrifices, as (though these were) common flesh. 14 (13)
They left no sin undone, wherein they surpassed not the heathen. 15 (14) Therefore God
mingled for them a spirit of wandering; And gave them to drink a cup of undiluted wine,
that they might become drunken. 16 (15) He brought him that is from the end of the earth,
that smiteth mightily; 17 He decreed (?) war against Jerusalem, and against her land. 18
(16) The princes of the land went to meet him with joy: they said unto him: Blessed be thy
way! Come ye, enter ye in with peace. 19 (17) They made the rough ways even, before his
entering in; They opened the gates to Jerusalem, they crowned its walls. 20 (18) As a
father (entereth) the house of his sons, (so) he entered (JerusaIem) in peace; He
established his feet (there) in great safety. 21 (19) He captured her fortresses and the
wall of Jerusalem; 22 For God Himself led him in safety, while they wandered. 23 (20) He
destroyed their princes and every one wise in counsel; He poured out the blood of the
inhabitants of Jerusalem, like the water of uncleanness. 24 (21) He led away their sons
and daughters, whom they had begotten in defilement. 25 (22) They did according to their
uncleanness, even as their fathers (had done): 26 They defiled Jerusalem and the things
that had been hallowed to the name of God. 27 (23) (But) God hath shown Himself righteous
in His judgements upon the nations of the earth; 28 And the pious (servants) of God are
like innocent lambs in their midst. 29 (24) Worthy to be praised is the Lord that judgeth
the whole earth in His righteousness. 30 (25) Behold, now, O God, Thou hast shown us Thy
judgement in Thy righteousness; 31 Our eyes have seen Thy judgements, O God. (26) We have
justified Thy name that is honoured for ever; 32 For Thou art the God of righteousness,
judging Israel with chastening. 33 (27) Turn, O God, Thy mercy upon us, and have pity upon
us; 34 (28) Gather together the dispersed of Israel, with mercy and goodness; 35 For Thy
faithfulness is with us. (29) And (though) we have stiffened our neck, yet Thou art our
chastener; 36 (30) Overlook us not, O our God, lest the nations swallow us up, as though
there were none to deliver. 37 (31) But Thou art our God from the beginning, And upon Thee
is our hope (set), O Lord; 38 (32) And we will not depart from Thee, For good are Thy
judgements upon us. 39 (33) Ours and our children's be Thy good pleasure for ever O Lord
our Saviour, we shall never more be moved. 40 (34) The Lord is worthy to be praised for
His judgements with the mouth of His pious ones; And blessed be Israel of the Lord for
ever
IX. Of Solomon. For rebuke.
9 1 When Israel was led away captive into a
strange land, When they fell away from the Lord who redeemed them, 2 They were cast away
from the inheritance, which Lord had given them. (2) A mong every nation (were) the
dispersed of Israel according to the word of God, 3 That Thou mightest be justified, O
God, in Thy righteousness by reason of our transgressions: 4 For Thou art a just judge
over all the peoples of the earth. 5 (3) For from Thy knowledge none that doeth unjustly
is hidden, 6 And the righteous deeds of Thy pious ones (are) before Thee, O Lord, Where,
then, can a man hide himself from Thy knowledge, O God? 7 (4) Our works are subject to our
own choice and power To do right or wrong in the works of our hands 8 And in Thy
righteousness Thou visitest the sons of men. 9 (5) He that doeth righteousness layeth up
life for himself with the Lord; And he that doeth wrongly forfeits his life to
destruction; 10 For the judgements of the Lord are (given) in righteousness to (every) man
and (his) house. (6) Unto whom art Thou good, O God, except to them that call upon the
Lord? 12 He cleanseth from sins a soul when it maketh confession, when it maketh
acknowledgement; 13 For shame is upon us and upon our faces on account of all these
things. 14 (7) And to whom doth He forgive sins, except to them that have sinned? 15 Thou
blessest the righteous, and dost not reprove them for the sins that they have committed;
And Thy goodness is upon them that sin, when they repent. 16 (8) And, now, Thou art our
God, and we the people whom Thou hast loved: Behold and show pity, O God of Israel, for we
are Thine; And remove not Thy mercy from us, lest they assail us. 17 (9) For Thou didst
choose the seed of Abraham before all the nations, And didst set Thy name upon us, O Lord,
18 And Thou wilt not reject (us) for ever. Thou madest a covenant with our fathers
concerning us; 19 (10) And we hope in Thee, when our soul turneth (unto Thee). The mercy
of the Lord be upon the house of Israel for ever and ever.
X. A Hymn Of Solomon.
10 1 Happy is the man whom the Lord remembereth
with reproving, And whom He restraineth from the way of evil with strokes, That he may be
cleansed from sin, that it may not be multiplied. 2 He that maketh ready his back for
strokes shall be cleansed, For the Lord is good to them that endure chastening. 3 For He
maketh straight the ways of the righteous, And doth not pervert (them) by His chastening.
4 And the mercy of the Lord (is) upon them that love Him in truth, (4) And the Lord
remembereth His servants in mercy. 5 For the testimony (is) in the law of the eternal
covenant, The testimony of the Lord (is) on the ways of men in (His) visitation. 6 (5)
Just and kind is our Lord in His judgements for ever, And Israel shall praise the name of
the Lord in gladness. 7 (6) And the pious shall give thanks in the assembly of the people;
And on the poor shall God have mercy in the gladness (?) of Israel; 8 (7) For good and
merciful is God for ever, And the assemblies of Israel shall glorify the name of the Lord.
The salvation of the Lord be upon the house of Israel unto everlasting gladness!
XI. Of Solomon. Unto expectation.
11 1 Blow ye in Zion on the trumpet to summon
(the) saints, 2 Cause ye to be heard in Jerusalem the voice of him that bringeth good
tidings; For God hath had pity on Israel in visiting them. 3 (2) Stand on the height, O
Jerusalem, and behold thy children, From the East and the West, gathered together by the
Lord; 4 (3) From the North they come in the gladness of their God, From the isles afar off
God hath gathered them. 5 (4) High mountains hath He abased into a plain for them; 6 The
hills fled at their entrance. (5) The woods gave them shelter as they passed by; 7 Every
sweet-smelling tree God caused to spring up for them, (6) That Israel might pass by in the
visitation of the glory of their God. 8 (7) Put on, O Jerusalem, thy glorious garments;
Make ready thy holy robe; For God hath spoken good concerning Israel, for ever and ever. 9
(8) Let the Lord do what He hath spoken concerning Israel and Jerusalem; Let the Lord
raise up Israel by His glorious name. (9) The mercy of the Lord be upon Israel for ever
and ever.
XII. Of Solomon. Against the tongue of
transgressors.
12 1 O Lord, deliver my soul from (the) lawless
and wicked man, From the tongue that is lawless and slanderous, and speaketh lies and
deceit. 2 Manifoldly twisted (?) are the words of the tongue of the wicked man, Even as
among a people a fire that burneth up their beauty. 3 So he delights to fill houses with a
lying tongue, To cut down the trees of gladness which setteth on fire transgressors, 4 To
involve households in warfare by means of slanderous lips. (4) May God remove far from the
innocent the lips of transgressors by (bringing them to) want And may the bones of
slanderers be scattered (far) away from them that fear the Lord! 5 In flaming fire perish
the slanderous tongue (far) away from the pious! 6 (5) May the Lord preserve the quiet
soul that hateth the unrighteous; And may the Lord establish the man that followeth peace
at home. 7 (6) The salvation of the Lord be upon Israel His servant for ever; And let the
sinners perish together at the presence of the Lord; But let the Lord's pious ones inherit
the promises of the Lord.
XIII. Of Solomon. A Psalm. Comfort for the
righteous.
13 1 The right hand of the Lord hath covered me;
The right hand of the Lord hath spared us. 2 The arm of the Lord hath saved us from the
sword that passed through, From famine and the death of sinners. 3 Noisome beasts ran upon
them: With their teeth they tore their flesh, And with their molars crushed their bones.
(4) But from all these things the Lord delivered us, 4 (5) The righteous was troubled on
account of his errors, Lest he should be taken away along with the sinners; 5 (6) For
terrible is the overthrow of the sinner; But not one of all these things toucheth the
righteous. (7) For not alike are the chastening of the righteous (for sins done) in
ignorance, And the overthrow of the sinners 7 (8) Secretly (?) is the righteous chastened,
Lest the sinner rejoice over the righteous. 8 (9) For He correcteth the righteous as a
beloved son, And his chastisement is as that of a firstborn. 9 10) For the Lord spareth
His pious ones, And blotteth out their errors by His chastening. (11) For the life of the
righteous shall be for ever; 10 But sinners shall be taken away into destruction, And
their memorial shall be found no more. 11 (12) But upon the pious is the mercy of the
Lord, And upon them that fear Him His mercy.
XIV. A Hymn. Of Solomon.
14 1 Faithful is the Lord to them that love Him in truth,
To them that endure His chastening, (2) To them that walk in the righteousness of His
commandments, In the law which He commanded us that we might live. 2 (5) The pious of the
Lord shall live by it for ever; The Paradise of the Lord, the trees of life, are His pious
ones. 3 (4) Their planting is rooted for ever; They shall not be plucked up all the days
of heaven: (5) For the portion and the inheritance of God is Israel. 4 (6) But not so are
the sinners and transgressors, Who love (the brief) day (spent) in companionship with
their sin; (7) Their delight is in fleeting corruption, 5 And they remember not God. (8)
For the ways of men are known before Him at all times, And He knoweth the secrets of the
heart before they come to pass. 6 (9) Therefore their inheritance is Sheol and darkness
and destruction, And they shall not be found in the day when the righteous obtain mercy; 7
(10) But the pious of the Lord shall inherit life in gladness.
XV. A Psalm. Of Solomon. With a Song.
15 1 When I was in distress I called upon the name
of the Lord, I hoped for the help of the God of Jacob and was saved; 2 For the hope and
refuge of the poor art Thou, O God. 3 (a) For who, O God, is strong except to give thanks
unto Thee in truth? 4 And wherein is a man powerful except in giving thanks to Thy name? 5
(3) A new psalm with song in gladness of heart, The fruit of the lips with the well-tuned
instrument of the tongue, The firstfruits of the lips from a pious and righteous heart-- 6
(4) He that offereth these things shall never be shaken by evil; The flame of fire and the
wrath against the unrighteous shall not touch him, 7 (5) When it goeth forth from the face
of the Lord against sinners, To destroy all the substance of sinners, 8 (6) For the mark
of God is upon the righteous that they .may be saved. (7) Famine and sword and pestilence
(shall be) far from the righteous, 9 For they shall flee away from the pious as men
pursued in war; (8) But they shall pursue sinners and overtake (them), And they that do
lawlessness shall not escape the judgement of God; (9) As by enemies experienced (in war)
shall they be overtaken, 10 For the mark of destruction is upon their forehead. 11 (10)
And the inheritance of sinners is destruction and darkness, And their iniquities shall
pursue them unto Sheol beneath. 12 (11) Their inheritance shall not be found of their
children, 13 For sins shall lay waste the houses of sinners. (12) And sinners shall perish
for ever in the day of the Lord's judgement, 14 When God visiteth the earth with His
judgement. 15 (13) But they that fear the Lord shall find mercy therein, And shall live by
the compassion of their God; But sinners shall perish for ever.
XVI. A Hymn. Of Solomon. For Help to the
Pious.
16 1 When my soul slumbered (being afar) from the
Lord, I had all but slipped down to the pit, When (I was) far from God, 2 my soul had been
well nigh poured out unto death, (I had been) nigh unto the gates of Sheol with thesinner,
3 when my soul departed from the Lord God of Israel-- Had not the Lord helped me with His
ever lasting mercy. 4 He pricked me, as a horse is pricked, that I might serve Him, My
saviour and helper at all times saved me. 5 I will give thanks unto Thee, O God, for Thou
hast helped me to (my) salvation; And hast not counted me with sinners to (my)
destruction. 6 Remove not Thy mercy from me, O God, Nor Thy memorial from my heart until I
die. 7 Rule me, O God, (keeping me back) from wicked sin, And from every wicked woman that
causeth the simple to stumble. 8 And let not the beauty of a lawless woman beguile me, Nor
any one that is subject to (?) unprofitable sin. 9 Establish the works of my hands before
Thee, And preserve my goings in the remembrance of Thee. 10 Protect my tongue and my lips
with words of truth; Anger and unreasoning wrath put far from me. 11 Murmuring, and
impatience in affliction, remove far from me, When, if I sin, Thou chastenest me that I
may return (unto Thee). 12 But with goodwill and cheerfulness support my soul; When Thou
strengthenest my soul, what is given (to me) will be sufficient for me. 13 For if Thou
givest not strength, Who can endure chastisement with poverty? 14 When a man is rebuked by
means of his corruption, Thy testing (of him) is in his flesh and in the affliction of
poverty. 15 If the righteous endureth in all these (trials), he shall receive mercy from
the Lord.
XVII. A Psalm. Of Solomon. With Song. Of
the King.
17 1 O Lord, Thou art our King for ever and ever,
For in Thee, O God, doth our soul glory. 2 How long are the days of man's life upon the
earth? As are his days, so is the hope (set) upon him. 3 But we hope in God, our
deliverer; For the might of our God is for ever with mercy, 4 And the kingdom of our God
is for ever over the nations in judgement. 5 (4) Thou, O Lord, didst choose David (to be)
king over Israel, And swaredst to him touching his seed that never should his kingdom fail
before Thee. 6 (5) But, for our sins, sinners rose up against us; They assailed us and
thrust us out; What Thou hadst not promised to them, they took away (from us) with
violence. 7 They in no wise glorified Thy honourable name; (6) They set a (worldly)
monarchy in place of (that which was) their excellency; 8 They laid waste the throne of
David in tumultuous arrogance. (7) But Thou, O God, didst cast them down and remove their
seed from the earth, 9 In that there rose up against them a man that was alien to our
race. 10 (8) According to their sins didst Thou recompense them, O God; So that it befell
them according to their deeds. 11 (9) God showed them no pity; He sought out their seed
and let not one of them go free. 12 (10) Faithful is the Lord in all His judgements Which
He doeth upon the earth. 13 (11) The lawless one laid waste our land so that none
inhabited it, They destroyed young and old and their children together. 14 (12) In the
heat of His anger He sent them away even unto the west, And (He exposed) the rulers of the
land unsparingly to derision. 15 (13) Being an alien the enemy acted proudly, And his
heart was alien from our God. 16 (14) And all things whatsoever he did in Jerusalem, As
also the nations in the cities to their gods. 17 (15) And the children of the covenant in
the midst of the mingled peoples surpassed them in evil. There was not among them one that
wrought in the midst of Jerusalem mercy and truth. 18 (16) They that loved the synagogues
of the pious fled from them, As sparrows that fly from their nest. 19 (17) They wandered
in deserts that their lives might be saved from harm, And precious in the eyes of them
that lived abroad was any that escaped alive from them. 20 (18) Over the whole earth were
they scattered by lawless (men). 21 (19) For the heavens withheld the rain from dropping
upon the earth, Springs were stopped (that sprang) perennial(ly) out of the deeps, (that
ran down) from lofty mountains. For there was none among them that wrought righteousness
and justice; (20) From the chief of them to the least (of them) all were sinful; 22 The
king was a transgressor, and the judge disobedient, and the people sinful. 23 (21) Behold,
O Lord, and raise up unto them their king, the son of David, At the time in the which Thou
seest, O God, that he may reign over Israel Thy servant 24 (22) And gird him with
strength, that he may shatter unrighteous rulers, 25 And that he may purge Jerusalem from
nations that trample (her) down to destruction. (23) Wisely, righteously 26 he shall
thrust out sinners from (the) inheritance, He shall destroy the pride of the sinner as a
potter's vessel. (24) With a rod of iron he shall break in pieces all their substance, 21
He shall destroy the godless nations with the word of his mouth; (25) At his rebuke
nations shall flee before him, And he shall reprove sinners for the thoughts of their
heart. 28 (26) And he shall gather together a holy people, whom he shall lead in
righteousness, And he shall judge the tribes of the people that has been sanctified by the
Lord his God. 29 (21) And he shall not suffer unrighteousness to lodge any more in their
midst, Nor shall there dwell with them any man that knoweth wickedness, 30 For he shall
know them, that they are all sons of their God. (28) And he shaIl divide them according to
their tribes upon the land, 31 And neither sojourner nor alien shall sojourn with them any
more. (29) He shall judge peoples and nations in the wisdom of his righteousness. Selah.
32 (30) And he shall have the heathen nations to serve him under his yoke; And he shall
glorify the Lord in a place to be seen of (?) all the earth; 33 And he shall purge
Jerusalem, making it holy as of old: 34 (31) So that nations shall come from the ends of
the earth to see his glory, Bringing as gifts her sons who had fainted, 35 And to see the
glory of the Lord, wherewith God hath glorified her. (32) And he (shall be) a righteous
king, taught of God, over them, 36 And there shall be no unrighteousness in his days in
their midst, For all shall be holy and their king the anointed of the Lord. 37 (33) For he
shall not put his trust in horse and rider and bow, Nor shall he multiply for himself gold
and silver for war, Nor shall he gather confidence from (?) a multitude (?) for the day of
battle. 38 (34) The Lord Himself is his king, the hope of him that is mighty through (his)
hope in God. All nations (shall be) in fear before him, 39 (35) For he will smite the
earth with the word of his mouth for ever. 40 He will bless the people of the Lord with
wisdom and gladness, 41 (36) And he himself (will be) pure from sin, so that he may rule a
great people. He will rebuke rulers, and remove sinners by the might of his word; 42 (37)
And (relying) upon his God, throughout his days he will not stumble; For God will make him
mighty by means of (His) holy spirit, And wise by means of the spirit of understanding,
with strength and righteousness. 43 (38) And the blessing of the Lord (will be) with him:
he will be strong and stumble not; 44 (39) His hope (will be) in the Lord: who then can
prevail against him? (40) (He will be) mighty in his works, and strong in the fear of God,
45 (He will be) shepherding the flock of the Lord faithfully and righteously, And will
suffer none among them to stumble in their pasture. 46 (41) He will lead them all aright,
And there will be no pride among them that any among them should be oppressed. 47 (42)
This (will be) the majesty of the king of Israel whom God knoweth; He will raise him up
over the house of Israel to correct him. 48 (43) His words (shall be) more refined than
costly gold, the choicest; In the assemblies he will judge the peoples, the tribes of the
sanctified. 49 His words (shall be) like the words of the holy ones in the midst of
sanctified peoples. 50 Blessed be they that shall be in those days, In that they shall see
the good fortune of Israel which God shall bring to pass in the gathering together of the
tribes. 51 May the Lord hasten His mercy upon Israel! May He deliver us from the
uncleanness of unholy enemies! The Lord Himself is our king for ever and ever.
XVIII. A Psalm. Of Solomon. Again of the
Anointed of the Lord.
18 1 Lord, Thy mercy is over the works of Thy
hands for ever; Thy goodness is over Israel with a rich gift. 2 Thine eyes look upon them,
so that none of them suffers want; 3 Thine ears listen to the hopeful prayer of the poor.
(3) Thy judgements (are executed) upon the whole earth in mercy; 4 And Thy love (is)
toward the seed of Abraham, the children of Israel. (4) Thy chastisement is upon us as
(upon) a first-born, only-begotten son, 5 To turn back the obedient soul from folly (that
is wrought) in ignorance. 6 (5) May God cleanse Israel against the day of mercy and
blessing, Against the day of choice when He bringeth back His anointed. 7 (6) Blessed
shall they be that shall be in those days, In that they shall see the goodness of the Lord
which He shall perform for the generation that is to come, 8 (7) Under the rod of
chastening of the Lord's anointed in the fear of his God, In the spirit of wisdom and
righteousness and strength; 9 (8) That he may direct (every} man in the works of
righteousness by the fear of God, That he may establish them all before the Lord, 10 (9) A
good generation (living) in the fear of God in the days of mercy. Selah. 11 (10) Great is
our God and glorious, dwelling in the highest. 12 (It is He) who hath established in
(their) courses the lights (of heaven) for determining seasons from year to year, And they
have not turned aside from the way which He appointed them 13 (11) In the fear of God
(they pursue) their path every day, From the day God created them and for evermore. 14
(12) And they have erred not since the day He created them. Since the generations of old
they have not withdrawn from their path, Unless God commanded them (so to do) by the
command of His servants.
