1[[To the Heavenly Worship Leader upon Sh'minit [an eight-stringed lyre], A Psalm (sacred song about or to God) of David [Beloved].]] Help, LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate]; for the godly man ceases; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.

2They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: [with] flattering lips [and] with a double heart do they speak.

3The LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] shall cut off all flattering lips, [and] the tongue that speaks proud things:

4Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips [are] our own: who [is] lord over us?

5For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, says the LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate]; I will set [him] in safety [from him that] puffs at him.

6The words of the LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] [are] pure words: [as] silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

7youⁱ shall keep them, O LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], youⁱ shall preserve them from this generation forever.

8The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
