1 Save me, Lord, because the good people are all gone.No true believers are left on earth.
2 Everyone lies to his neighbors.They say one thing and mean another.
3 The Lord will stop those lying lips.He will cut off those bragging tongues.
4 They say, “Our tongues will help us win.We can say what we wish. No one is our master.”
5 But the Lord says,“I will now rise upbecause the poor are being hurt.Because of the moans of the helpless,I will give them the help they want.”
6 The Lord’s words are pure.They are like silver purified by fire,like silver purified seven times over.
7 Lord, keep us safe.Always protect us from such people.
8 The wicked are all around us.Everyone loves what is wrong.
