1. 1Help, LORD, for the godly man ceases; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2. 2They speak vanity everyone with his neighbor; with flattering lips and with a double heart they speak.
3. 3The LORD will cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaks proud things—
4. 4who have said, "With our tongue we will prevail; our lips are our own — who is lord over us?"
5. 5For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise," says the LORD; "I will set him in safety from the one who taunts him."
6. 6The words of the LORD are pure words, like silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7. 7You will keep them, O LORD; you will preserve them from this generation forever.
8. 8The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
