Help, for the Godly Are No More
{To the chief Musician upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.} Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
{To the chief Musician upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.} Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
Neighbors lie to each other,
speaking with flattering lips and deceitful hearts.
speaking with flattering lips and deceitful hearts.
They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
May the LORD cut off their flattering lips
and silence their boastful tongues.
and silence their boastful tongues.
The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
They say, “We will lie to our hearts’ content.
Our lips are our own — who can stop us?”
Our lips are our own — who can stop us?”
Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
The LORD replies, “I have seen violence done to the helpless,
and I have heard the groans of the poor.
Now I will rise up to rescue them,
as they have longed for me to do.”
and I have heard the groans of the poor.
Now I will rise up to rescue them,
as they have longed for me to do.”
For 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.
The LORD’s promises are pure,
like silver refined in a furnace,
purified seven times over.
like silver refined in a furnace,
purified seven times over.
The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Therefore, LORD, we know you will protect the oppressed,
preserving them forever from this lying generation,
preserving them forever from this lying generation,
Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
