To the chief Musician upon Sheminith,
A Psalm of David.
Help,
Lord; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful
fail from among the children of men.
02 They speak vanity every one with his
neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double
heart do they speak.
03 The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips,
and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
04 Who have said, With our tongue will we
prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over
us?

05 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 from him that
puffeth at him.
06 The words of the Lord are pure words: as
silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified
seven times.
07 Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt
preserve them from this generation for ever.
08 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest
men are exalted.
