Original text and translations

English text 1  Help, Lord, for the godly man ceases! For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men. 2  They speak idly everyone with his neighbor; With flattering lips and a double heart they speak. 3  May the Lord cut off all flattering lips, And the tongue that speaks proud things, 4  Who have said, “With our tongue we will 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 I will arise,” says the Lord; “I will set him in the safety for which he yearns.” 6  The words of the Lord are pure words, Like silver tried in a furnace of earth, Purified seven times. 7  You shall keep them, O Lord, You shall preserve them from this generation forever. 8  The wicked prowl on every side, When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
