BSB Parallel NIV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
Berean Study BibleNew International Version
1For the choirmaster. According to Sheminith. A Psalm of David. Help, O LORD, for the godly are no more; the faithful have vanished from among men.1For the director of music. According to sheminith. A psalm of David. Help, LORD, for no one is faithful anymore; those who are loyal have vanished from the human race.
2They lie to one another; they speak with flattering lips and a double heart.2Everyone lies to their neighbor; they flatter with their lips but harbor deception in their hearts.
3May the LORD cut off all flattering lips and every boastful tongue.3May the LORD silence all flattering lips and every boastful tongue--
4They say, “With our tongues we will prevail. We own our lips—who can be our master?”4those who say, "By our tongues we will prevail; our own lips will defend us--who is lord over us?"
5“For the cause of the oppressed and for the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says the LORD. “I will bring safety to him who yearns.”5"Because the poor are plundered and the needy groan, I will now arise," says the LORD. "I will protect them from those who malign them."
6The words of the LORD are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace, like gold purified sevenfold.6And the words of the LORD are flawless, like silver purified in a crucible, like gold refined seven times.
7You, O LORD, will keep us; You will forever guard us from this generation.7You, LORD, will keep the needy safe and will protect us forever from the wicked,
8The wicked wander freely, and vileness is exalted among men.8who freely strut about when what is vile is honored by the human race.
