Psalms 11 — LXXSB

(12) For the end, A Psalm of David, upon the eighth.

11Verse 1Save me, O Lord; for the godly man has failed; for⁺truth is diminished from amongst the children of men.
^{Verse 2}Every one has spoken vanity to his neighbour: their lips are deceitful, they have spoken with a double heart.
^{Verse 3}Let the Lord destroy all the deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaks great words:
^{Verse 4}who have said, We will magnify our tongue; our lips are our own: who is Lord of us?
^{Verse 5}Because of the misery of the poor, and because of the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, says the Lord, I will set them in safety; I will speak to them thereof openly.
^{Verse 6}The oracles of the Lord are pure oracles; as silver tried in the fire, proved in⁺a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
^{Verse 7}You, O Lord, shall keep us, and shall preserve us, from this generation, and for ever.
^{Verse 8}The ungodly walk around: according to your greatness you have greatly exalted the sons of men.
