Yahweh Will Set the Needy in Safety 1Save, O Yahweh, for the holy man ceases to be, For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men. 2They speak worthlessness to one another; With a flattering lip and with a double heart they speak. 3May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that speaks great things; 4Who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail; Our lips are [†]our own; who is lord over us?” 5“Because of the devastation of the afflicted, because of the groaning of the needy, Now I will arise,” says Yahweh; “I will set him in the [†]safety for which he [†]longs.” 6The words of Yahweh are pure words; As silver tried in a furnace on the ground, refined seven times. 7You, O Yahweh, will keep them; You will guard him from this generation forever. 8The wicked strut about on every side When [†]vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
