Verses
1
Help, O Lord, for there is no longer anyone who is godly; the faithful have disappeared from humankind.
2
They utter lies to each other; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.
3
May the Lord cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that makes great boasts,
4
those who say, With our tongues we will prevail; our lips are our own—who is our master?
5
Because the poor are despoiled, because the needy groan, I will now rise up, says the Lord; I will place them in the safety for which they long.
6
The promises of the Lord are promises that are pure, silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times.
7
You, O Lord, will protect us; you will guard us from this generation forever.
8
On every side the wicked prowl, as vileness is exalted among humankind.
