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。
