LEB(i)
1 For the music director; on the Sheminith.* A psalm of David.*
Save, O Yahweh, for the pious have ceased to be; for the faithful have vanished from among the children of humankind. 2 They speak falseness ⌊to each other⌋.* With flattering lips, with ⌊a double heart⌋* they speak. 3 May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips, the tongue speaking great boasts— 4 those who say, "With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips are on our side. Who is master over us?" 5 "Because of the oppression of the afflicted, because of the groaning of the poor, now I will rise up," Yahweh says. "I shall put them in the safety for which they* long." 6 The words of Yahweh are pure words like silver refined in the crucible on the ground, refined seven times. 7 You, O Yahweh, will protect them. You will preserve him* from this generation always. 8 The wicked prowl about when vileness is exalted among the children of humankind.
