Help,³⁴⁶⁷ Yahweh;³⁰⁶⁸ for the good man²⁶²³ ceaseth;¹⁵⁸⁴ for the faithful⁵³⁹ fail⁶⁴⁶¹ from among the children¹¹²¹ of men.¹²⁰

They speak¹⁶⁹⁶ vanity⁷⁷²³ every one³⁷⁶ with his neighbour:⁷⁴⁵³ with flattering²⁵¹³ lips⁸¹⁹³ and with a double³⁸²⁰ heart³⁸²⁰ do they speak.¹⁶⁹⁶

Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ shall cut off³⁷⁷² all flattering²⁵¹³ lips,⁸¹⁹³ and the tongue³⁹⁵⁶ that speaketh¹⁶⁹⁶ proud¹⁴¹⁹ things:

Who have said,⁵⁵⁹ With our tongue³⁹⁵⁶ will we prevail;¹³⁹⁶ our lips⁸¹⁹³ are our own: who is sovereign¹¹³ over us?

For the oppression⁷⁷⁰¹ of the poor,⁶⁰⁴¹ for the sighing⁶⁰³ of the needy,³⁴ now will I arise,⁶⁹⁶⁵ saith⁵⁵⁹ Yahweh;³⁰⁶⁸ I will set⁷⁸⁹⁶ him in safety³⁴⁶⁸ from him that puffeth⁶³¹⁵ at him.

The words⁵⁶⁵ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ are pure²⁸⁸⁹ words:⁵⁶⁵ as silver³⁷⁰¹ tried⁶⁸⁸⁴ in a furnace⁵⁹⁴⁸ of earth,⁷⁷⁶ purified²²¹² seven times.⁷⁶⁵⁹

Thou shalt keep⁸¹⁰⁴ them, O Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ thou shalt preserve⁵³⁴¹ them from this²⁰⁹⁸ generation¹⁷⁵⁵ for ever.⁵⁷⁶⁹

The wicked⁷⁵⁶³ walk¹⁹⁸⁰ on every side,⁵⁴³⁹ when the vilest²¹⁴⁹ men¹¹²¹ are exalted.⁷³¹¹
