[1]For the Leader; on the Sheminith. A Psalm of David.[2]Help, 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.[3]They speak falsehood every one with his neighbour; with flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.[4]May 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh proud things![5]Who have said: 'Our tongue will we make mighty; our lips are with us: who is lord over us?'[6]'For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise', saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; 'I will set him in safety at whom they puff.'[7]The words of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 are pure words, as silver tried in a crucible on the earth, refined seven times.[8]Thou wilt keep them, O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; Thou wilt preserve us from this generation for ever.[9]The wicked walk on every side, when vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
