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 lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.
3. The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh great things:
4. Who have said, with our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
5. For the spoiling of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the Lord; I will set him in safety at whom they puff.
