	YLT Young's Literal Translation	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	To the Overseer, on the octave. -- A Psalm of David. Save, Jehovah, for the saintly hath failed, For the stedfast have ceased From the sons 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	Vanity they speak each with his neighbour, Lip of flattery! With heart and heart they speak.	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	Jehovah doth cut off all lips of flattery, A tongue speaking great 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	Who said, 'By our tongue we do mightily: 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 spoiling of the poor, Because of the groaning of the needy, Now do I arise, saith Jehovah, I set in safety him who doth breathe for it.	“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	Sayings of Jehovah are pure sayings; Silver tried in a furnace of earth refined sevenfold.	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, O Jehovah, dost preserve them, Thou keepest us from this generation to the age.	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	Around the wicked walk continually, According as vileness is exalted by 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.
