1Help, Lord; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
1Help, Jehovah; for the godly man ceaseth; For the faithful fail from among the children of men.
1Unto the end, a psalm for David. How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me unto the end? how long dost thou turn away thy face from me?
2They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
2They speak falsehood every one with his neighbor: With flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.
2How long shall I take counsels in my soul, sorrow in my heart all the day?
3The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
3Jehovah will cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that speaketh great things;
3How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
4Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
4Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; Our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
4Consider, and hear me, O Lord, my God. Enlighten my eyes, that I never sleep in death:
5For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the Lord; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
5Because of the oppression of the poor, because of the sighing of the needy, Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; I will set him in the safety he panteth for.
5Lest at any time my enemy say: I have prevailed against him. They that trouble me, will rejoice when I am moved:
6The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
6The words of Jehovah are pure words; As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, Purified seven times.
6But I have trusted in thy mercy. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation: I will sing to the Lord, who giveth me good things: yea, I will sing to the name of the Lord, the most high.
