1Help, O Lord , for there is no longer anyone who is godly;[#Isa 57.1]
the faithful have disappeared from humankind.
2They utter lies to each other;[#1 Chr 12.33; Ps 41.6; 55.21]
with flattering lips and a deceitful heart they speak.
3May the Lord cut off all flattering lips,[#Ps 73.8, 9]
the tongue that makes great boasts,
4those who say, “With our tongues we will prevail;
our lips are our own—who is our master?”
5“Because the poor are despoiled, because the needy groan,[#Ps 3.7; 10.18; 34.6]
I will now rise up,” says the Lord ;
“I will place them in the safety for which they long.”
6The promises of the Lord are promises that are pure,[#Ps 18.30; Prov 30.5]
silver refined in a furnace on the ground,
purified seven times.
7You, O Lord , will protect us;[#Ps 37.28]
you will guard us from this generation forever.
8On every side the wicked prowl,[#Ps 55.10, 11]
as vileness is exalted among humankind.
