Psalms of Solomon 3

1Why do you sleep, O soul, and not bless the Lord?

2Sing a hymn and praise to God, the One worthy of praise. Sing, and keep watch for his watching, for a psalm to God from a good heart is good.

3The righteous will remember the Lord continually, with thanksgiving and vindicating the judgments of the Lord.

4The righteous man will not disdain being disciplined by the Lord; his delight is continually before the Lord.

5The righteous man is attentive and will declare the Lord just; The righteous man is attentive and will vindicate the Lord; he falls, and he looks to see what God will do for him., and he looks to see what God will do for him.

6He watches to see from where salvation will come to him.

7The truth of the righteous is from God their savior; sin upon sin does not lodge in the house of a righteous man.

8The righteous continually watches over his house, to remove wrongdoing in his transgression.

9He makes atonement for unintentional sin by fasting and humbling his soul;

10And the Lord cleanses every devout man and his house.

11A sinner stumbled, and he curses his life, the day of his birth and his mother’s labor pains.

12He added sins upon sins to his life.

13He has fallen, because his fall is evil, and he will not rise. The destruction of the sinner is forever,

14and he will certainly not be remembered when he visits the righteous.

15This is the portion of sinners forever.

16But those who fear the Lord will rise to eternal life, and their life in the light of the Lord will never cease.
