The Godly Are No More

1Help, Yahweh; for the godly man ceases. For the faithful fail from among the children of men.+ 2Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.+ 3May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts,+ 4who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?”+ 5“Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says Yahweh; “I will set him in safety from those who malign him.”+ 6Yahweh’s words are flawless words, as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.+ 7You will keep them, Yahweh. You will preserve them from this generation forever.+ 8The wicked walk on every side, when what is vile is exalted among the sons of men.+
