[1] For the Leader; on the Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
[2] Help, 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
[3] They speak falsehood every one with his neighbour; with flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.
[4] May 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh proud things!
[5] Who have said: 'Our tongue will we make mighty; our lips are with us: who is lord over us?'
[6] 'For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise', saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; 'I will set him in safety at whom they puff.'
[7] The words of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 are pure words, as silver tried in a crucible on the earth, refined seven times.
[8] Thou wilt keep them, O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; Thou wilt preserve us from this generation for ever.
[9] The wicked walk on every side, when vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
