Psalm scroll {lost books of the bible}
Surely a maggot cannot praise you or a graveworm recount your lovingkindness. But the living can praise you, even those who stumble can hail you. In revealing your kindness to them and by your righteousness do you enlighten them. Because in your hand is the soul of every living thing; the breath of all flesh you have given. Deal with us O'Lord, according to your goodness, according to your great mercy, and according to your many righteous deeds. The Lord has listened to the voice of those who love His Name and has not deprived them of His lovingkindness. Bless be the Lord, who executes righteous deeds, crowning His Saints with lovingkindness and mercy. My soul cries out to praise your Name, to sing high praises for your faithfulness--of praise of you there is no end. Near death was I for my sins, and my iniquities sold me to the grave, but you saved me, O'Lord, according to your great mercy, and according to your righteous deeds. Indeed I have loved your Name, and in your protection I have found refuge. When I remember your might, my heart is brave and I lean upon your mercies. Forgive my sins O'Lord, and purify me from my iniquity. Keep me safe in a spirit of faith and knowledge, and do not let me be dishonored in ruin. Do not let Satan rule over me, or an unclean spirit; don't let pain or evil inclinations take possession of my bones. For you O'Lord, are my praise, and in you do I hope all day long. Let my brothers rejoice with me and the house of my father, who are astonished at your graciousness......... Forever I will rejoice in you.
