The Second Book of Clement
2Clem
[1]Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. [No book]
[2]Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle. [No book]
[3]Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts. [No book]
[4]Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert. [No book]
[5]Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up. [No book]
[6]Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications. [No book]
[7]The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. [No book]
[8]The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed. [No book]
[9]Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever. [No book]
