The First Book of Clement
1Clem
[1]Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, concerning Cush a Benjamite. [No book]
[2]O ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ my God, in Thee have I taken refuge; save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me; [No book]
[3]Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver. [No book]
[4]O ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands; [No book]
[5]If I have requited him that did evil unto me, or spoiled mine adversary unto emptiness; [No book]
[6]Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it, and tread my life down to the earth; yea, let him lay my glory in the dust. Selah [No book]
[7]Arise, O ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, in Thine anger, lift up Thyself in indignation against mine adversaries; yea, awake for me at the judgment which Thou hast commanded. [No book]
[8]And let the congregation of the peoples compass Thee about, and over them return Thou on high. [No book]
[9]O ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, who ministerest judgment to the peoples, judge me, O ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me. [No book]
[10]Oh that a full measure of evil might come upon the wicked, and that Thou wouldest establish the righteous; for the righteous God trieth the heart and reins. [No book]
[11]My shield is with God, who saveth the upright in heart. [No book]
[12]God is a righteous judge, yea, a God that hath indignation every day: [No book]
[13]If a man turn not, He will whet His sword, He hath bent His bow, and made it ready; [No book]
[14]He hath also prepared for him the weapons of death, yea, His arrows which He made sharp. [No book]
[15]Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; yea, he conceiveth mischief, and bringeth forth falsehood. [No book]
[16]He hath digged a pit, and hollowed it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made. [No book]
[17]His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own pate. [No book]
[18]I will give thanks unto ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ according to righteousness; and will sing praise to the name of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ Most High. [No book]
