upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. |
|
|
|
2
|
They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: flattering lips with a double heart do they speak. |
|
|
|
3
|
The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh proud things: |
|
|
|
4
|
Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips our own: who lord over us? |
|
|
|
5
|
For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set in safety puffeth at him. |
|
|
|
6
|
The words of the LORD pure words: silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. |
|
|
|
7
|
Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. |

8
|
The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted. |
