The Second Book of Clement
2Clem
[1]MY soul waits upon God; from him comes my salvation. [No book]
[2]He only is my God and my salvation; he is my great defense; I shall not be moved. [No book]
[3]How long will you threaten a man so that you may kill him? Like a crumbling wall shall you be and as a tottering fence. [No book]
[4]For you have thought to cast him down from his excellency; you delight in lies; you bless with your mouths, but curse with your hearts. [No book]
[5]My soul, wait only upon God; for my salvation is from him. [No book]
[6]He only is my God and my salvation; he is my defense; I shall not be moved. [No book]
[7]In God is my salvation and my glory; God is my strength, my refuge, and my hope. [No book]
[8]Trust in him at all times; you people, pour out your hearts before him; God is a refuge for us. [No book]
[9]Surely all untrue men are like vapor; when they are placed in the balance, they are found wanting. [No book]
[10]Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if riches increase, let not your heart rejoice over them. [No book]
[11]God has said this once; twice have I heard this; that power belongs unto God. [No book]
[12]Also unto thee, O LORD, belongs mercy; for thou renderest to every man according to his work. [No book]
