1(12) For the end, A Psalm of David, upon the eighth. Save me, O Lord; for the godly man has failed; for truth is diminished from among the children of men.
1For the Chief Musician; upon an eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm of David. Help, Yahweh; for the godly man ceases. For the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2Every one has spoken vanity to his neighbor: their lips are deceitful, they have spoken with a double heart.
2Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.
3Let the Lord destroy all the deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaks great words:
3May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts,
4who have said, We will magnify our tongue; our lips are our own: who is Lord of us?
4who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?”
5Because of the misery of the poor, and because of the sighing of the needy, now will I arise,says the Lord, I will set [them] in safety; I will speak [to them] thereof openly.
5“Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says Yahweh; “I will set him in safety from those who malign him.”
6The oracles of the Lord are pure oracles; as silver tried in the fire, proved [in] a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
6Yahweh’s words are flawless words, as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.
7You, O Lord, shall keep us, and shall preserve us, from this generation, and for ever.
7You will keep them, Yahweh. You will preserve them from this generation forever.
8The ungodly walk around: according to your greatness you have greatly exalted the sons of men.
8The wicked walk on every side, when what is vile is exalted among the sons of men.
