Ready to read
1
For the choir director: according to . ⓚ A psalm of David. [1] Help, LORD, for no faithful one remains; the loyal have disappeared from the human race. [1] ⓛ

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. ⓔ
