1 - To the Overseer, on the octave. --A Psalm of David. Save, Jehovah, for the saintly hath failed, For the stedfast have ceased From the sons of men:

2 - Vanity they speak each with his neighbour, Lip of flattery! With heart and heart they speak.

3 - Jehovah doth cut off all lips of flattery, A tongue speaking great things,

4 - Who said, `By our tongue we do mightily: Our lips <FI>are<Fi> our own; who <FI>is<Fi> lord over us?'

5 - Because of the spoiling of the poor, Because of the groaning of the needy, Now do I arise, saith Jehovah, I set in safety <FI>him who<Fi> doth breathe for it.

6 - Sayings of Jehovah <FI>are<Fi> pure sayings; Silver tried in a furnace of earth refined sevenfold.

7 - Thou, O Jehovah, dost preserve them, Thou keepest us from this generation to the age.

8 - Around the wicked walk continually, According as vileness is exalted by sons of men!
