1 [To the chief Musician. Upon Sheminith. A Psalm of David.] 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.6 The words of Jehovah are pure words, silver tried in the furnace of earth, purified seven times.7 Thou, Jehovah, wilt keep them, thou wilt preserve them from this generation for ever.8 The wicked walk about on every side, when vileness is exalted among the children of men.

1 耶和华啊！ 求你施行拯救， 因为虔诚人没有了， 在世人中的信实人也不见了。 2 他们彼此说谎， 用谄媚的嘴唇说话， 口是心非。 3 愿耶和华剪除一切说谄媚话的嘴唇， 和说夸大话的舌头。 4 他们曾说： "我们必能以舌头取胜； 我们的嘴唇是自己的， 谁能作我们的主呢？" 5 耶和华说： "因为困苦人的冤屈和贫穷人的叹息， 我现在要起来， 把他们安置在他们渴望的稳妥之中。" 6 耶和华的言语是纯净的言语， 好像银子在泥炉中炼过， 精炼过七次一样。 7 耶和华啊！ 求你保守我们（"我们"有古抄本作"他们"）， 保护我们（"我们"有古抄本作"他们"）永远脱离这世代的人。 8 恶人到处横行， 邪恶在世人中被高举。
