Psalms of Solomon 1

1I cried out to the Lord when I was afflicted to the end, to God when sinners attacked.

2Suddenly, a cry of war was silenced before me; he will hear me, because I am filled with righteousness.

3I thought in my heart that I was filled with righteousness when I prospered and became great in children.

4Their wealth was spread throughout all the land, and their glory reached to the end of the earth.

5They were exalted to the stars; they said, “We will certainly not fall.”

6and they were insolent in their prosperity, and they did not endure.

7Their sins were in secret, and I did not know.

8Their lawless deeds surpassed those of the nations before them; they profaned the holy things of the Lord with profanation.
