Platt, Jr., [1926]\nAn appeal for family tranquility and peace and quiet at home.\nO Lord, deliver my soul from the lawless and wicked man,\n \u00a0\u00a0From the tongue that is lawless and slanderous, and speaketh lies and deceit.\n Manifoldly twisted are the words of the tongue of the wicked man,\n \u00a0\u00a0Even as among a people a fire that burneth up their beauty.\n So he delights to fill houses with a lying tongue,\n \u00a0\u00a0To cut down the trees of gladness which setteth on fire transgressors,\n \u00a0\u00a0To involve households in warfare by means of slanderous lips.\nMay God remove far from the innocent the lips of transgressors by bringing them to want\n \u00a0\u00a0And may the bones of slanderers be scattered far away from them that fear the Lord!\n \u00a0\u00a0In flaming fire perish the slanderous tongue far away from the pious!\n May the Lord preserve the quiet soul that hateth the unrighteous;\n \u00a0\u00a0And may the Lord establish the man that followeth peace at home.\n The salvation of the Lord be upon Israel His servant for ever;\n \u00a0\u00a0And let the sinners perish together at the presence of the Lord;\n \u00a0\u00a0But let the Lord's pious ones inherit the promises of the Lord.","title":"The Forgotten Books of Eden: The Psalms of Solomon: Chapt...","type":"page"}
