The Godly Are No More

1Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.+ 2They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.+ 3The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:+ 4Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?+ 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.+ 6The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.+ 7Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.+ 8The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.+
