Psalms of Solomon 3

Psalmoi Solomontos

Why do you die, soul, and not bless the Lord? Sing a new hymn to God.

2Sing, for I have awakened at your awakening; because the good psalm to God comes from a good heart.

3In all things the righteous remember the Lord, confessing and acknowledging the judgments of God.

4The righteous one who is under the discipline of the Lord will walk prudently.

5The righteous one stumbled and acknowledged the Lord; he fell down and admires what God does to him.

6The truth of the righteous is with God his Savior.

7The righteous one watches over his house in all things, to keep away unrighteousness.

8He atones for errors with fasting, and humbles his soul; and the Lord purifies every holy man.

9Those who fear the Lord shall be raised to eternal life, and their life is in the light of the Lord.
