Psalms of Solomon 1
1
I cried unto the Lord when I was in distress, Unto God when sinners assailed.
2
Suddenly the alarm of war was heard before me; I said, He will hearken to me, for I am full of righteousness.
3
I thought in my heart that I was full of righteousness, Because I was well off and had become rich in children.
4
Their wealth spread to the whole earth, And their glory unto the end of the earth.
5
They were exalted unto the stars; They said they would never fall.
6
But they became insolent in their prosperity, And they were without understanding,
7
Their sins were in secret, And even I had no knowledge of them.
8
Their transgressions went beyond those of the heathen before them; They utterly polluted the holy things of the Lord.
