Masoretic-derived · highlighted where altered
2Save me, O Lord; for the godly man has failed; for truth is diminished from among the children of men.
2Help, Lord; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
3Every one has spoken vanity to his neighbour: their lips are deceitful, they have spoken with a double heart .
3They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
4Let the Lord destroy all the deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaks great words:
4The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
5who have said, We will magnify our tongue ; our lips are our own: who is Lord of us?
5Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
6Because of the misery of the poor, and because of the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the Lord, I will set [them] in safety; I will speak [to them] thereof openly.
6For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the Lord; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
7The oracles of the Lord are pure oracles; as silver tried in the fire, proved [in] a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
8Thou , O Lord, shalt keep us, and shalt preserve us, from this generation, and for ever.
8Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
9The ungodly walk around: according to thy greatness thou hast greatly exalted the sons of men .
9The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
