1. Save, Jehovah, for the godly man is gone; for the faithful have failed from among the children of men.
2. They speak falsehood every one with his neighbour: with flattering lip, with a double heart, do they speak.
3. Jehovah will cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh proud things,
4. Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail, our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
5. Because of the oppression of the afflicted, because of the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith Jehovah, I will set him in safety, at whom they puff.
