1 Help, Lord; for the godly man ceases.For the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2 Everyone lies to his neighbor.They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.
3 May the Lord cut off all flattering lips,and the tongue that boasts,
4 who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail.Our lips are our own.Who is lord over us?”
5 “Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy,I will now arise,” says the Lord;“I will set him in safety from those who malign him.”
