For the Chief Musician; set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
1 Help, Jehovah; for
the godly man ceaseth;
For the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2 They speak falsehood
every one with his neighbor:
With flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.
3 Jehovah will cut off
all flattering lips,
The tongue that speaketh great things;
4 Who have said, With
our tongue will we 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 will I arise, saith Jehovah;
I will set him in the safety he panteth for.
6 The words of Jehovah
are pure words;
As silver tried in a furnace on the earth,
Purified seven times.
7 Thou wilt keep them, O
Jehovah,
Thou wilt preserve them from this generation for ever.
8 The wicked walk on
every side,
When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
