|
|
1 |
Help, LORD; for the
godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
|
|
|
2 |
They speak vanity
every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart
do they speak.
|
|
3 |
The LORD shall cut
off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
|
|
4 |
Who have said, With
our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
|
|
5 |
For the oppression
of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD;
I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
|
|
6 |
The words of the
LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven
times.
|
|
7 |
Thou shalt keep
them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
|
|
8 |
The wicked walk on
every side, when the vilest men are exalted. |
