	BISHOPS Bishops' Bible of 1568	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	To the chiefe musition vpon (an instrument) of eyght stringes, a psalme of Dauid. Saue thou me O God, for there is not one godly man left: for the faythfull are diminished from among the chyldren of men.	Save, O LORD, for the godly one is gone; for the faithful have vanished from among the children of man.	For 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.
2	Euery one vseth vayne talke with his neyghbour: and speaketh with a double heart out of flatteryng lippes.	Everyone utters lies to his neighbor; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.	Everyone lies to their neighbor; they flatter with their lips but harbor deception in their hearts.
3	God wyll cut away all flatteryng lippes: and the tongue that speaketh great thinges.	May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that makes great boasts,	May the LORD silence all flattering lips and every boastful tongue—
4	Whiche say, we wyll preuayle with our tongue: our lippes are our owne, who is Lorde ouer vs?	those who say, “With our tongue we will prevail, our lips are with us; who is master 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 calamities of the oppressed, for the deepe sighyng of the poore, I wyll nowe vp sayeth God: and I wyll put in safetie, hym whom the wicked hath snared.	“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.”	“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 wordes of God be wordes pure, as the siluer tryed in a furnace of earth: and purified seuen times.	The words of the LORD are pure words, like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times.	And the words of the LORD are flawless, like silver purified in a crucible, like gold refined seven times.
7	Wherfore thou wylt kepe the godly, O God: thou wylt preserue euery one of them from this generation for euer.	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,
8	The vngodly walke on euery side: when the worst sort be exalted amongst the chyldren of men.	On every side the wicked prowl, as vileness is exalted among the children of man.	who freely strut about when what is vile is honored by the human race.
