| 1Help, LORD, for godly people no longer exist; trustworthy people have disappeared from humanity. | 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. |
| 2Everyone speaks lies to his neighbor; they speak with flattering lips and hidden motives. | 2They lie to one another; they speak with flattering lips and a double heart. |
| 3The LORD will cut off all slippery lips, and the tongue that boasts great things, | 3May the LORD cut off all flattering lips and every boastful tongue. |
| 4those who say, "By our tongues we will prevail; our lips belong to us. Who is master over us?" | 4They say, “With our tongues we will prevail. We own our lips—who can be our master?” |
| 5"Because the poor are being oppressed, because the needy are sighing, I will now arise," says the LORD, "I will establish in safety those who yearn for it." | 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.” |
| 6The words of the LORD are pure, like silver refined in an earthen furnace, purified seven times over. | 6The words of the LORD are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace, like gold purified sevenfold. |
| 7You, LORD, will keep them safe, you will guard them from this generation forever. | 7You, O LORD, will keep us; You will forever guard us from this generation. |
| 8The wicked, however, keep walking around, exalting the vileness of human beings. | 8The wicked wander freely, and vileness is exalted among men. |
