| 1 For the choir director; upon an eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm of David. Help, LORD, for the godly man ceases to be, For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men. | 1 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. | 1 Help, Jehovah; for the godly man ceaseth; For the faithful fail from among the children of men. | 1 Unto the end; for the octave, a psalm for David. Save me, O Lord, for there is now no saint: truths are decayed from among the children of men. | 1 To the Overseer, on the octave. -- A Psalm of David. Save, Jehovah, for the saintly hath failed, For the stedfast have ceased From the sons of men: | 2 They speak falsehood to one another; With flattering lips and with a double heart they speak. | 2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. | 2 They speak falsehood every one with his neighbor: With flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak. | 2 They have spoken vain things every one to his neighbour: with deceitful lips, and with a double heart have they spoken. | 2 Vanity they speak each with his neighbour, Lip of flattery! With heart and heart they speak. | 3 May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that speaks great things; | 3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things: | 3 Jehovah will cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that speaketh great things; | 3 May the Lord destroy all deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things. | 3 Jehovah doth cut off all lips of flattery, A tongue speaking great things, | 4 Who have said, "With our tongue we will prevail; Our lips are our own; who is lord over us?" | 4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us? | 4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; Our lips are our own: who is lord over us? | 4 Who have said: We will magnify our tongue; our lips are our own; who is Lord over us? | 4 Who said, 'By our tongue we do mightily: Our lips are our own; who is lord over us?' | 5 "Because of the devastation of the afflicted, because of the groaning of the needy, Now I will arise," says the LORD; "I will set him in the safety for which he longs." | 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. | 5 Because of the oppression of the poor, because of the sighing of the needy, Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; I will set him in the safety he panteth for. | 5 By reason of the misery of the needy, and the groans of the poor, now will I arise, saith the Lord. I win set him in safety; I will deal confidently in his regard. | 5 Because of the spoiling of the poor, Because of the groaning of the needy, Now do I arise, saith Jehovah, I set in safety him who doth breathe for it. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 The words of the LORD are pure words; As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, refined seven times. | 6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. | 6 The words of Jehovah are pure words; As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, Purified seven times. | 6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried by the fire, purged from the earth refined seven times. | 6 Sayings of Jehovah are pure sayings; Silver tried in a furnace of earth refined sevenfold. | 7 You, O LORD, will keep them; You will preserve him from this generation forever. | 7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. | 7 Thou wilt keep them, O Jehovah, Thou wilt preserve them from this generation for ever. | 7 Thou, O Lord, wilt preserve us.: and keep us from this generation for ever. | 7 Thou, O Jehovah, dost preserve them, Thou keepest us from this generation to the age. | 8 The wicked strut about on every side When vileness is exalted among the sons of men. | 8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted. | 8 The wicked walk on every side, When vileness is exalted among the sons of men. | 8 The wicked walk round about: according to thy highness, thou best multiplied the children of men. | 8 Around the wicked walk continually, According as vileness is exalted by sons of men! |
