King James Version of the
Bible
1 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail
from among the children of men.
2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with
flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue
that speaketh proud things:
4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are
our own: who is lord over us?
5 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.
6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a
furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from
this generation for ever.
8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are
exalted.1
