| 1 | For the Leader; on the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. |
| 1a | — |
| 2 | Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; For the faithful fail from among the children of men. |
| 3 | They speak falsehood every one with his neighbour; With flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak. |
| 4 | May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that speaketh proud things! |
| 5 | Who have said: 'Our tongue will we make mighty; Our lips are with us: who is lord over us?' |
| 6 | 'For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, Now will I arise', saith the LORD; 'I will set him in safety at whom they puff.' . |
| 7 | The words of the LORD are pure words, As silver tried in a crucible on the earth, refined seven times. |
| 8 | Thou wilt keep them, O LORD; Thou wilt preserve us from this generation for ever. |
| 9 | The wicked walk on every side, When vileness is exalted among the sons of men. |
