2. Everyone tells lies,and no one is sincere.
3. Won't you chop offall flattering tonguesthat boast so loudly?
4. They say to themselves,“We are great speakers.No one else has a chance.”
5. But you, Lord, tell them,“I will do something!The poor are ill-treatedand helpless people moan.I'll rescue all who suffer.”
6. Our Lord, you are trueto your promises,and your word is like silverheated seven timesin a fiery furnace.
7. You will protect usand always keep us safefrom those people.
