Column 19: Plea for Deliverance (A Noncanonical Psalm)
1. Surely a maggot cannot praise these nor a grave
worm recount thy loving-kindness.
2. But the living can praise thee, even those who
stumble can laud thee. In revealing
3. thy kindness to them by thy righteousness thou
dost enlighten them. For in thy hand is the soul of
every
4. living thing; the breath of all flesh hast thou given.
Deal with us, O LORD,
5. according to thy goodness, according to thy great
mercy, and according to thy many righteous deeds.
The LORD
6. has heeded the voice of those who love his name and
has not deprived them of his loving-kindness.
7. Blessed be the LORD, who executes righteous deeds,
crowning his saints
8. with loving-kindness and mercy. My soul cries out to
praise thy name, to sing high praises
9. for thy loving deeds, to proclaim thy faithfulness--of
praise of thee there is no end. Near death
10. was I for my sins, and my iniquities have sold me to
the grave; but thou didst save me,
11. O LORD, according to thy great mercy, and
according to thy many righteous deeds. Indeed have I
12. loved thy name, and thy protection have I found
refuge. When I remember thy might my heart
13. is brave, and upon thy mercies do I lean. Forgive my
sin, O LORD,
14. and purify me from my iniquity. Vouchsafe me a spirit
of faith and knowledge, and let me not be dishonored
15. in ruin. Let not Satan rule over me, nor an unclean
spirit; neither let pain nor the evil
16. inclination take possession of my bones. For thou, O
LORD, art my praise, and in thee do I hope
17. all the day. Let me brothers rejoice with me and the
house of my father, who are astonished by the
graciousness...
18. [ ] For e[ver] I will rejoice in thee
