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.
1For the Chief Musician. By David. In Yahweh, I take refuge. How can you say 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, behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrows on the strings, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
3Let the Lord destroy all the deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaks great words:
3If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?
4who have said, We will magnify our tongue; our lips are our own: who is Lord of us?
4Yahweh is in his holy temple. Yahweh is on his throne in heaven. His eyes observe. His eyes examine 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.
5Yahweh examines the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and him who loves violence.
6The oracles of the Lord are pure oracles; as silver tried in the fire, proved [in] a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
6On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; fire, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
7You, O Lord, shall keep us, and shall preserve us, from this generation, and for ever.
7For Yahweh is righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright shall see his face.
