\q
|
|
\v 1 Help, Yahweh, for the godly have disappeared;
|
|
\q the faithful have vanished.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 2 Everyone says empty words to his neighbor;
|
|
\q everyone speaks with flattering lips and a double heart.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 3 Yahweh, cut off all flattering lips,
|
|
\q every tongue declaring great things.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 These are those who have said, "With our tongues will we prevail.
|
|
\q When our lips speak, who can be master over us?"
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 5 "Because of violence against the poor, because of the groans of the needy,
|
|
\q I will arise," says Yahweh.
|
|
\q "I will provide the safety for which they long."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 6 The words of Yahweh are pure words,
|
|
\q like silver purified in a furnace on the earth,
|
|
\q refined seven times.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 7 You are Yahweh! You keep them.
|
|
\q You preserve the godly people from this wicked generation and forever.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 8 The wicked walk on every side
|
|
\q when evil is exalted among the sons of men.
