Psalm of Solomon, Chapter 7

1. [Of Solomon. About Restoring] Do not move away from us, o God, lest those who hate us without cause attack us.    2. For you have rejected them, o God; let their feet not trample the inheritance of your sanctuary.    3. Discipline us, You yourself, as You wish, but do not give [us] to the gentiles.    4. For if You sent death You would give it instructions about us,    5. because you are kind, and will not be [so] angry to destroy us.    6. While your name dwells among us, we will receive mercy and the gentile will not prevail over us.    7. For You are our protector. We will call to You, and You will hear us.    8. For You will have compassion on the people Israel forever and You will not reject [them].    9. And we are under your eternal yoke, and [under] the whip of your discipline.    10. You will guide us aright in the time of your help to show mercy to the house of Jacob on the day when You promised [it] to them.
