Help, Lord! For principled and godly people are here no more; faithfulness and the faithful vanish from among the sons of men.
2
To his neighbor each one speaks words without use or worth or truth; with flattering lips and double heart [deceitfully] they speak.
3
May the Lord cut off all flattering lips and the tongues that speak proud boasting,
4
Those who say, With our tongues we prevail; our lips are our own [to command at our will] — who is lord and master over us?
5
Now will I arise, says the Lord, because the poor are oppressed, because of the groans of the needy; I will set him in safety and in the salvation for which he pants.
6
The words and promises of the Lord are pure words, like silver refined in an earthen furnace, purified seven times over.
7
You will keep them and preserve them, O Lord; You will guard and keep us from this [evil] generation forever.
8
The wicked walk or prowl about on every side, as vileness is exalted [and baseness is rated high] among the sons of men.
