God, a Helper against the Treacherous.

¹ Help, LORD, for ^(C1)the godly person has come to an end,
For the faithful have disappeared from the sons of mankind.

² They ^(C1)speak ^(F1)lies to one another;
They speak with ^(F2)(C2)flattering lips and a double heart.

³ May the LORD cut off all ^(F1)flattering lips,
The tongue that ^(C1)speaks great things;

⁴ Who ^(C1)have said, "With our tongue we will prevail;
Our lips are ^(F1)our own; who is lord over us?"

⁵ "Because of the ^(C1)devastation of the poor, because of the groaning of the needy,
Now ^(C2)I will arise," says the LORD; "I will ^(C3)put him in the safety for which he longs."

⁶ The ^(C1)words of the LORD are pure words;
Like silver ^(C2)refined in a furnace on the ground, filtered seven times.

⁷ You, LORD, will keep them;
You will ^(C1)protect him from this generation forever.

⁸ The ^(C1)wicked strut about on every side
When ^(F1)(C2)vileness is exalted among the sons of mankind.
