The First Book of Clement
1Clem
[1]A Psalm of David. ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, I have called Thee; make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I call unto Thee. [No book]
[2]Let my prayer be set forth as incense before Thee, the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. [No book]
[3]Set a guard, O ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, to my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips. [No book]
[4]Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to be occupied in deeds of wickedness with men that work iniquity; and let me not eat of their dainties. [No book]
[5]Let the righteous smite me in kindness, and correct me; oil so choice let not my head refuse; for still is my prayer because of their wickedness. [No book]
[6]Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock; and they shall hear my words, that they are sweet. [No book]
[7]As when one cleaveth and breaketh up the earth, our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth. [No book]
[8]For mine eyes are unto Thee, O ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ the Lord; in Thee have I taken refuge, O pour not out my soul. [No book]
[9]Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, and from the gins of the workers of iniquity. [No book]
[10]Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst I withal escape. [No book]
