1 Please help me, Lord!All who were faithfuland all who were loyalhave disappeared.
2 Everyone tells lies,and no one is sincere.
3 Won't you chop offall flattering tonguesthat boast so loudly?
4 They say to themselves,“We are great speakers.No one else has a chance.”
5 But you, Lord, tell them,“I will do something!The poor are ill-treatedand helpless people moan.I'll rescue all who suffer.”
