¹ SAVE, O LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for faith hath disappeared from the earth.² Men speak vanity, every one with his neighbour; with flattering lips, and with a double heart do they speak.³ The LORD shall destroy all flattering lips and tongues that speak proud things.⁴ For they have said, With our tongue will we prevail: our lips are our own; who is lord over us?⁵ Because of the oppression of the poor and the groans of the needy, now will I arise, says the LORD; and I will bring salvation openly.⁶ The words of the LORD are pure words; as silver tried in a furnace on earth, they are purified seven times.⁷ Thou shalt keep them, O LORD; thou shalt preserve me and save me from this generation for ever.⁸ For the wicked walk everywhere with contemptible pride like the children of Edom.
