| 1 | ⓐ Help, LORD, for no faithful one remains; the loyal have disappeared from the human race. ⓑ | |
| 2 | They lie to one another; they speak with flattering lips and deceptive hearts. ⓒ | |
| 3 | May the LORD cut off all flattering lips and the tongue that speaks boastfully. ⓓ | |
| 4 | They say, “Through our tongues we have power; [1] our lips are our own — who can be our master?” ⓔ | |
| 5 | “Because of the oppression of the afflicted and the groaning of the poor, I will now rise up,” says the LORD. “I will put the one who longs for it in a safe place.” ⓕ | |
| 6 | The words of the LORD are pure words, like silver refined in an earthen furnace, purified seven times. ⓖ | |
| 7 | You, LORD, will guard us; [2] You will protect us [3] from this generation forever. ⓗ | |
| 8 | The wicked wander [4] everywhere, and what is worthless is exalted by the human race. ⓘ |
