Vers 1

Help us, O LORD! The godly all have vanished;
gone are the faithful who your judgments seek.
Men lie to one another, truth is banished;
with flattering lips and double heart they speak.

Vers 2

O may the LORD cut off the lips that flatter,
and those who say, “Our tongue makes us succeed!”
Hear how in vanity they proudly chatter,
“Our lips are ours – what master do we need?”

Vers 3

“Because they all oppress the weak and needy,
I will arise and right my people’s wrong;
I hear their groans and will destroy the greedy,
and grant my own the rest for which they long.”

Vers 4

The words of promise which the LORD has spoken
are purest silver seven times refined.
His covenant stands from age to age unbroken;
he is our God, in truth and faith enshrined.

Vers 5

O LORD, protect us from this generation;
forever save us from their ways of sin.
They strut about, and vileness in the nation
is highly praised among the sons of men.
