Psalms of Solomon{gr.Psalmoi Solomontos} 16

16:1 [[A Hymn of Solomon. For help for the saints.]] When my soul slumbered I almost slipped and fell from the Lord into decline of those who sleep far from God.

16:2 Within a little my soul would have been poured out to death, near the gates of Hades, with the sinner,

16:3 when my soul was being drawn away from the Lord God of Israel, if the Lord had not come to my aid with his eternal mercy.

16:4 He jabbed me as a goad [pokes] the horse to keep it awake; my savior and protector at all times saved me.

16:5 I will praise you, o God, because you came to my aid for salvation, and did not count me with the sinners for destruction.

16:6 Do not take your mercy away from me, o God, nor your memory from my heart until death.

16:7 Guard me, o God, from evil sin and from every evil woman who makes the foolish to stumble.

16:8 And may not deceive me the beauty of a lawless woman nor of anyone subject to useless sin.

16:9 Keep straight the works of my hands in your place, and protect my steps in your memory.

16:10 Clothe my tongue and my lips with words of truth; put anger and thoughtless rage far from me.

16:11 Keep far from me grumbling and discouragement in suffering when you discipline [me] for conversion if I sin.

16:12 With approval and happiness sustain my soul; when you strengthen my soul, I will be content with what has been given.

16:13 For if you do not strengthen, who can support discipline in poverty?

16:14 Your trial [consists] in putting the soul to shame in hand of somebody's corruptibility, in his flesh and in the sufferings of poverty.

16:15 If the righteous endures these things, he will receive mercy from the Lord.
