(12) For the end, A Psalm of David, upon the eighth. Save me, O Lord; for the godly man has failed; for truth is diminished from among the children of men.

Every one has spoken vanity to his neighbor: their lips are deceitful, they have spoken with a double heart.

Let the Lord destroy all the deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaks great words:

who have said, We will magnify our tongue; our lips are our own: who is Lord of us?

Because of the misery of the poor, and because of the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, says the Lord, I will set [them] in safety; I will speak [to them] thereof openly.

The oracles of the Lord are pure oracles; as silver tried in the fire, proved [in] a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

You, O Lord, shall keep us, and shall preserve us, from this generation, and for ever.

The ungodly walk around: according to your greatness you have greatly exalted the sons of men.
