1To the chief Musician5329 upon Sheminith8067, A Psalm4210 of David1732. Help3467, LORD3068; for the godly man2623 ceaseth1584; for the faithful539 fail6461 from among the children1121 of men120.
2They speak1696 vanity7723 every one376 with his neighbour7453: with flattering2513 lips8193 and with a double3820 heart3820 do they speak1696.
3The LORD3068 shall cut off3772 all flattering2513 lips8193, and the tongue3956 that speaketh1696 proud1419 things:
4Who have said559, With our tongue3956 will we prevail1396; our lips8193 are our own: who is lord113 over us?
5For the oppression7701 of the poor6041, for the sighing603 of the needy34, now will I arise6965, saith559 the LORD3068; I will set7896 him in safety3468 from him that puffeth6315 at him.
6The words565 of the LORD3068 are pure2889 words565: as silver3701 tried6884 in a furnace5948 of earth776, purified2212 seven times7659.
7Thou shalt keep8104 them, O LORD3068, thou shalt preserve5341 them from this2098 generation1755 for ever5769.
8The wicked7563 walk1980 on every side5439, when the vilest2149 men1121 120 are exalted7311.
