1	For the Chief Musician; upon an eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm of David. Help, Yahweh; for the godly man ceases. For the faithful fail 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	Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and 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	May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts,	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	who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?”	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	“Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says Yahweh; “I will set him in safety from those who malign him.”	“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	Yahweh’s words are flawless words, as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven 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	You will keep them, Yahweh. You will preserve them from this generation forever.	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 walk on every side, when what is vile is exalted among the sons 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.
