Psalms of Solomon{gr.Psalmoi Solomontos} 9

9:1 [[Of Solomon. For refutation.]] When Israel was deported into exile to a foreign country, when they turned away from the Lord who had redeemed them, they were thrown away from the inheritance which the Lord had given them.

9:2 The dispersion of Israel [was] among every nation according to the saying of God, so that your righteousness might be proved right, o God, in our lawlessness. For you are a righteous judge over all the peoples of the earth.

9:3 For none that do evil will be hidden from your knowledge, and the righteousness of your saints is before you, Lord. Where, then, will a human being hide [himself] from your knowledge, o God?

9:4 Our works [are] in the choosing and power of our souls [is] to do justice and injustice through the works of our hands, and in your righteousness you look after human beings.

9:5 The one who does justice treasures up life for himself with the Lord, and the one who does injustice [is] himself the cause of the destruction of his soul; for the Lord's righteous judgments are according to the individual and the household.

9:6 To whom will you be good, o God, except to those who call upon the Lord? You will cleanse from sins the soul in praising, in confessing; therefore for all these things the shame is on us and on our faces.

9:7 And to whom will you forgive sins except to those who have sinned? You will bless the righteous and will not call to account for what they sinned. And your goodness [will be] upon those that sin, when they repent.

9:8 And now, you are God and we are the people whom you have loved. Look and be compassionate, o God of Israel, for we are yours. And do not take away your mercy from us, lest they attack us.

9:9 For you chose the descendants of Abraham above all the nations, and you put your name upon us, Lord, and you will not reject [us] forever.

9:10 You made a covenant with our ancestors concerning us, and we hope in you when we convert our souls.

9:11 The mercy of the Lord [be] upon the house of Israel forever hereafter.
