Help, Lord; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:Who have said, "With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?"
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.
The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
THOU shalt keep them, O Lord, THOU shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
