For the Chief Musician; set to {Or, the eighth}the Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
Help, Jehovah; for the godly man ceaseth;
For {Or, faithfulness failed}the faithful fail from among the children of men.
They speak falsehood every one with his neighbor:
With flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.
Jehovah will cut off all flattering lips,

As silver tried in a furnace on the earth,
Purified seven times.
Thou wilt keep them, O Jehovah,
Thou wilt preserve them from this generation for ever.
The wicked walk on every side,
When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
