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. 2 They speak vanity every one
with his neighbour: with flattering
lips and with a double heart do
they speak. 3 The Lord shall cut off all
flattering lips, and the tongue
that speaketh proud things: 4 Who have said, With our
tongue will we prevail; our lips are
our own: who is 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 him in safety from him that puffeth at him. 6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as 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. |
In that day thou shalt help, O
Lord, the poor and the meek of the earth. For the godly man shall cease to be
found, and the faithful fail from among the children of men. 2 They shall speak vanity every one with his
neighbour; with flattering lips, with a double heart do they speak. 3 But 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 are our own, who shall be Lord over us? 5 Therefore, thus saith the Lord, I will
arise in that day, I will stand upon the earth, and I will judge the earth
for the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy; and their cry
hath entered into mine ear. 6 Therefore the Lord shall sit in judgment
upon all those who say in their hearts, We all sit in safety; and puffeth at
him. These are the words of the Lord; yea, pure words, like silver tried in a
furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7 Thou shalt save thy people, O Lord; thou
shalt keep them; thou shalt preserve them from the wickedness of their
generations for ever. 8 The wicked walk on every side, and the
vilest men are exalted; but in the day of their pride thou shalt visit them. |

these> generations for ever, and ever The wicked walk on evry side, and the
vilest men are exalted; but in the day of there pride thou shalt visit them.
