The Second Book of Clement
2Clem
[1]O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; [No book]
[2]To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. [No book]
[3]Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. [No book]
[4]Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. [No book]
[5]My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: [No book]
[6]When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches. [No book]
[7]Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. [No book]
[8]My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me. [No book]
[9]But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth. [No book]
[10]They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes. [No book]
[11]But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. [No book]
