The Godly Are No More
For the choirmaster. According to Sheminith.+A Psalm of David.
12Verse 1Help, O LORD, for the godly are no more;the faithful have vanished from among men.Verse 2They lie to one another;they speak with flattering lips and a double heart.Verse 3May the LORD cut off all flattering lipsand every boastful tongue.Verse 4They say, “With our tongues we will prevail.We own our lips—who can be our master?”Verse 5“For the cause of the oppressedand for the groaning of the needy,I will now arise,” says the LORD.“I will bring safety to him who yearns.”Verse 6The words of the LORD are flawless,like silver refined in a furnace,like gold purified sevenfold.+Verse 7You, O LORD, will keep us;You will forever guard us from this generation.Verse 8The wicked wander freely,and vileness is exalted among men.
