The Godly Are No More
121Help, LORD; for the godly man ceases.For the faithful fail from amongst the children of men.+2Everyone lies to his neighbour.They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.+3May the LORD 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 the LORD;“I will set him in safety from those who malign him.”+6The LORD’s words are flawless words,as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.+7You will keep them, LORD.You will preserve them from this generation forever.+8The wicked walk on every side,when what is vile is exalted amongst the sons of men.+
