2 They lie to one another; they speak with flattering lips and a double heart. Everyone utters lies to his neighbor; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak. They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: <i>with</i> flattering lips <i>and</i> with a double heart do they speak. They speak lies to one another; They speak with flattering lips and a double heart. Everyone lies to their neighbor; they flatter with their lips but harbor deception in their hearts.
3 May the LORD cut off all flattering lips and every boastful tongue.

4 They say, “With our tongues we will prevail. We own our lips— who can be our master?” those who say, “With our tongue we will prevail, our lips are with us; who is master over us?” Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips <i>are</i> our own: who <i>is</i> lord over us? Who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail; Our lips are our own; who is lord over us?” those 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.” “Because the poor are plundered, because the needy groan, I will now arise,” says the LORD; “I will place him in the safety for which he longs.” For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set <i>him</i> in safety <i>from him that</i> puffeth at him. “Because of the devastation of the poor, because of the groaning of the needy, Now I will arise,” says the LORD; “I will put him in the safety for which he longs.” “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.”
6 The words of the LORD are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace, like gold purified sevenfold. The words of the LORD are pure words, like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times. The words of the LORD <i>are</i> pure words: <i>as</i> silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. The words of the LORD are pure words; Like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, filtered seven times. And the words of the LORD are flawless, like silver purified in a crucible, like gold refined seven times.
7 You, O LORD, will keep us; You will forever guard us from this generation. You, O LORD, will keep them; you will guard us from this generation forever.

You, LORD, will keep the needy safe and will protect us forever from the wicked,
