Help, LORD, for the godly man ceases to be, 
For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.
            For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.
Everyone lies to their neighbor; 
they flatter with their lips
but harbor deception in their hearts.
            they flatter with their lips
but harbor deception in their hearts.
They speak falsehood to one another; 
With flattering lips and with a double heart they speak.
            With flattering lips and with a double heart they speak.
May the Lord silence all flattering lips 
and every boastful tongue —
            and every boastful tongue —
May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, 
The tongue that speaks great things;
            The tongue that speaks great things;
those who say, 
“By our tongues we will prevail;
our own lips will defend us — who is lord over us?”
            “By our tongues we will prevail;
our own lips will defend us — who is lord over us?”
Who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail; 
Our lips are our own; who is lord over us?”
            Our lips are our own; who is lord over us?”
“Because the poor are plundered and the needy groan, 
I will now arise,” says the Lord.
“I will protect them from those who malign them.”
            I will now arise,” says the Lord.
“I will protect them from those who malign them.”
“Because of the devastation of the afflicted, because of the groaning of the needy, 
Now I will arise,” says the LORD; “I will set him in the safety for which he longs.”
            Now I will arise,” says the LORD; “I will set him in the safety for which he longs.”
The words of the LORD are pure words; 
As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, refined seven times.
            As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, refined seven times.
You, Lord, will keep the needy safe 
and will protect us forever from the wicked,
            and will protect us forever from the wicked,
You, O LORD, will keep them; 
You will preserve him from this generation forever.
            You will preserve him from this generation forever.
