2 They have spoken vain things every one to his neighbour: with deceitful lips, and with a double heart have they spoken. 3 May the Lord destroy all deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things. 4 Who have said: We will magnify our tongue; our lips are our own; who is Lord over us? 5 By reason of the misery of the needy, and the groans of the poor, now will I arise, saith the Lord. I win set him in safety; I will deal confidently in his regard. 6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried by the fire, purged from the earth refined seven times. 7 Thou, O Lord, wilt preserve us.: and keep us from this generation for ever. 8 The wicked walk round about: according to thy highness, thou best multiplied the children of men.
