To the chief Musician{H5329}{(H8764)} upon Sheminith{H8067}, A Psalm{H4210} of David{H1732}. Help{H3467}{(H8685)}, LORD{H3068}; for the godly man{H2623} ceaseth{H1584}{(H8804)}; for the faithful{H539}{(H8803)} fail{H6461}{(H8804)} from among the children{H1121} of men{H120}.

They speak{H1696}{(H8762)} vanity{H7723} every one{H376} with his neighbour{H7453}: with flattering{H2513} lips{H8193} and with a double{H3820} heart{H3820} do they speak{H1696}{(H8762)}.

The LORD{H3068} shall cut off{H3772}{(H8686)} all flattering{H2513} lips{H8193}, and the tongue{H3956} that speaketh{H1696}{(H8764)} proud{H1419} things:

Who have said{H559}{(H8804)}, With our tongue{H3956} will we prevail{H1396}{(H8686)}; our lips{H8193} are our own: who is lord{H113} over us?

For the oppression{H7701} of the poor{H6041}, for the sighing{H603} of the needy{H34}, now will I arise{H6965}{(H8799)}, saith{H559}{(H8799)} the LORD{H3068}; I will set{H7896}{(H8799)} him in safety{H3468} from him that puffeth{H6315}{(H8686)} at him.

The words{H565} of the LORD{H3068} are pure{H2889} words{H565}: as silver{H3701} tried{H6884}{(H8803)} in a furnace{H5948} of earth{H776}, purified{H2212}{(H8794)} seven times{H7659}.

Thou shalt keep{H8104}{(H8799)} them, O LORD{H3068}, thou shalt preserve{H5341}{(H8799)} them from this{H2098} generation{H1755} for ever{H5769}.

The wicked{H7563} walk{H1980}{(H8691)} on every side{H5439}, when the vilest{H2149} men{H1121}{H120} are exalted{H7311}{(H8800)}.
