Psalms of Solomon 14
1
Faithful is the Lord to them that love him in truth, To them that endure his chastening,
2
To them that walk in the righteousness of his commandments, In the law which he commanded us that we might live.
3
The pious of the Lord shall live by it forever; The Paradise of the Lord, the trees of life, are his pious ones.
4
Their planting is rooted forever; They shall not be plucked up all the days of heaven:
5
For the portion and the inheritance of God is Israel.
6
But not so are the sinners and transgressors, Who love the brief day spent in companionship with their sin;
7
Their delight is in fleeting corruption, And they remember not God.
8
For the ways of men are known before him at all times, And he knoweth the secrets of the heart before they come to pass.
9
Therefore their inheritance is Hades and darkness and destruction, And they shall not be found in the day when the righteous obtain mercy;
10
But the pious of the Lord shall inherit life in gladness.
