Platt, Jr., [1926]\nThe psalmist restates the great philosophy of Right and Wrong.\nWhen I was in distress I called upon the name of the Lord,\n \u00a0\u00a0I hoped for the help of the God of Jacob and was saved;\n \u00a0\u00a0For the hope and refuge of the poor art Thou, O God.\n For who, O God, is strong except to give thanks unto Thee in truth?\n \u00a0\u00a0And wherein is a man powerful except in giving thanks to Thy name?\n A new psalm with song in gladness of heart,\n \u00a0\u00a0The fruit of the lips with the well-tuned instrument of the tongue,\n \u00a0\u00a0The first fruits of the lips from a pious and righteous heart-- p. 116\n He that offereth these things shall never be shaken by evil;\n \u00a0\u00a0The flame of fire and the wrath against the unrighteous shall not touch him,\n When it goeth forth from the face of the Lord against sinners,\n \u00a0\u00a0To destroy all the substance of sinners,\n For the mark of God is upon the righteous that they may be saved.\nFamine and sword and pestilence shall be far from the righteous,\n \u00a0\u00a0For they shall flee away from the pious as men pursued in war;\n But they shall pursue sinners and overtake them,\n \u00a0\u00a0And they that do lawlessness shall not escape the judgement of God;\n As by enemies experienced in war shall they be overtaken,\n \u00a0\u00a0For the mark of destruction is upon their forehead.\n And the inheritance of sinners is destruction and darkness,\n \u00a0\u00a0And their iniquities shall pursue them unto Sheol beneath.\n Their inheritance shall not be found of their children,\n \u00a0\u00a0For sins shall lay waste the houses of sinners.\n And sinners shall perish for ever in the day of the Lord's judgement,\n \u00a0\u00a0When God visiteth the earth with His judgement.\n But they that fear the Lord shall find mercy therein,\n \u00a0\u00a0And shall live by the compassion of their God;\n But sinners shall perish for ever.","title":"The Forgotten Books of Eden: The Psalms of Solomon: Chapter XV","type":"page"}
