|
1 |
Help, LORD, for the
godly man ceases!
For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.
|
|
|
2 |
They speak idly
everyone with his neighbour;
With flattering lips and a double heart they speak.
|
|
3 |
May the LORD cut off
all flattering lips,
And the tongue that speaks proud things,
|
|
4 |
Who have said,
“With our tongue we will 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 I will arise,” says the LORD;
“I will set him in the safety for which he yearns.”
|
|
6 |
The words of the
LORD are pure words,
Like silver tried in a furnace of earth,
Purified seven times.
|
|
7 |
You shall keep them,
O LORD,
You shall preserve them from this generation forever.
|
|
8 |
The wicked prowl on
every side,
When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
