1(12) For the end, A Psalm of David, upon the eighth. Save me, O Lord; for the godly man has failed; for truth is diminished from among the children of men.
1In the Lord put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
2Every one has spoken vanity to his neighbor: their lips are deceitful, they have spoken with a double heart.
2For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
3Let the Lord destroy all the deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaks great words:
3If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
4who have said, We will magnify our tongue; our lips are our own: who is Lordof us?
4The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord’s throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
5Because of the misery of the poor, and because of the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, says the Lord, I will set [them] in safety; I will speak [to them] thereof openly.
5The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
6The oracles of the Lord are pure oracles; as silver tried in the fire , proved [in] a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
6Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
7You, O Lord, shall keep us, and shall preserve us, from this generation, and for ever.
7For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
