For the Chief Musician; upon an eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm of David.
1 Help, Yahweh; for the godly man ceases.
For the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2 Everyone lies to his neighbor.
They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.
3 May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips,
and the tongue that boasts,
4 who have said, "With our tongue we will prevail.
Our lips are our own.
Who is lord over us?"
5 "Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy,
I will now arise," says Yahweh;
"I will set him in safety from those who malign him."
6 Yahweh’s words are flawless words,
as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.
7 You will keep them, Yahweh.
You will preserve them from this generation forever.
8 The wicked walk on every side,
when what is vile is exalted among the sons of men.

祈求 神保护脱离是非
大卫的诗，交给诗班长，调用"舍明尼"。 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，
好象银子在泥炉中炼过，精炼过七次一样。
7 耶和华啊！求你保守我们，
保护我们《马索拉文本》，"我们……我们"作"他们……他"；现参照其他抄本及《七十士译本》翻译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。
