| 1 | 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. |
