¹ For the Chief Musician; set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. Help, Yahweh; for the godly man ceases; For the faithful fail from among the sons of man.² They speak falsehood every one with his neighbor: With flattering lip, and with a double heart, they speak.³ Yahweh will cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that speaks great things;⁴ Who have said, With our tongue we will prevail; Our lips are our own: who is lord over us?⁵ Because of the oppression of the poor, because of the sighing of the needy, Now I will arise, says Yahweh; I will set him in the safety he pants for.⁶ The words of Yahweh are pure words; As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, Purified seven times.⁷ You will keep them, O Yahweh, You will preserve them from this generation forever.⁸ The wicked walk on every side, When vileness is exalted among the sons of man.
