| 2 | They lie to one another; they speak with flattering lips and deceptive hearts. ⓜ | |

| 4 | They say, “Through our tongues we have power; our lips are our own — who can be our master?” ⓐ | |
| 5 | “Because of the devastation of the needy and the groaning of the poor, I will now rise up,” says the LORD. “I will provide safety for the one who longs for it.” ⓑ | |
| 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 prowl [4] all around, and what is worthless is exalted by the human race. ⓔ |
