Psalms of Solomon 5

Psalmoi Solomontos

God, I will praise your name with rejoicing, among those who know your righteous judgments.

2For you are kind and merciful, the refuge of the poor.

3When we are oppressed we will ask you for help; but do not reject our supplication, for you are our God.

4If I am hungry, I will cry to you, O God, and you will satisfy me.

5You feed the birds and the fish, when you give rain to the deserts.

6Kings, the powerful and peoples you feed, O God also of the poor and needy.

7Your gift is abundant with kindness and riches.

8Blessed is he who remembers God in the symmetry of self-sufficiency.

9Sufficient is the moderation of righteousness, and in this is the blessing of the Lord.
