Platt, Jr., [1926]\nRighteousness versus Sin.\nWhy sleepest thou, O my soul,\n \u00a0\u00a0And blessest not the Lord?\n Sing a new song,\n \u00a0\u00a0Unto God who is worthy to be praised.\n Sing and be wakeful against His awaking,\n \u00a0\u00a0For good is a psalm sung to God from a glad heart.\nThe righteous remember the Lord at all times,\n \u00a0\u00a0With thanksgiving and declaration of the righteousness of the Lord's judgements.\n The righteous despiseth not the chastening of the Lord;\n \u00a0\u00a0His will is always before the Lord.\n The righteous stumbleth and holdeth the Lord righteous:\n \u00a0\u00a0He falleth and looketh out for what God will do to him;\n He seeketh out whence his deliverance will come.\n \u00a0\u00a0The steadfastness of the righteous is from God, their deliverer;\n There lodgeth not in the house of the righteous sin upon sin.\n \u00a0\u00a0The righteous continually searcheth his house,\n To remove utterly all iniquity done by him in error.\n \u00a0\u00a0He maketh atonement for sins of ignorance by fasting and afflicting his soul,\n And the Lord counteth guiltless every pious man and his house. p. 108\n \u00a0\u00a0The sinner stumbleth and curseth his life\n The day when he was begotten, and his mother's travail.\n \u00a0\u00a0He addeth sins to sins, while he liveth;\n He falleth--verily grievous is his fall--and riseth no more.\n \u00a0\u00a0The destruction of the sinner is for ever,\n And he shall not be remembered, when the righteous is visited.\n \u00a0\u00a0This is the portion of sinners for ever.\nBut they that fear the Lord shall rise to life eternal,\n \u00a0\u00a0And their life shall be in the light of the Lord, and shall come to an end no more.","title":"The Forgotten Books of Eden: The Psalms of Solomon: Chapter III","type":"page"}
