	GENEVA Geneva Bible of 1587	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	To him that excelleth vpon the eight tune. A Psalme of Dauid. Helpe Lord, for there is not a godly man left: for the faithfull are fayled from among the children 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	They speake deceitfully euery one with his neighbour, flattering with their lips, and speake with a double heart.	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	The Lorde cut off all flattering lippes, and the tongue that speaketh proude things:	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	Which haue saide, With our tongue will we preuaile: our lippes are our owne: who is Lord 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	Now for the oppression of the needy, and for the sighes of the poore, I will vp, sayeth the Lord, and will set at libertie him, 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 the Lorde are pure wordes, as the siluer, tried in a fornace of earth, fined seuen folde.	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	Thou wilt keepe them, O Lord: thou wilt preserue him 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 wicked walke on euery side: when they are exalted, it is a shame for the sonnes 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.
