Vers 1
Help, Lord, because the godly man
doth daily fade away;
And from among the sons of men
the faithful do decay.Vers 2
Unto his neighbour ev’ry one
doth utter vanity:
They with a double heart do speak,
and lips of flattery.Vers 3
God shall cut off all flatt’ring lips,
tongues that speak proudly thus,
We’ll with our tongue prevail, our lips
are ours: who’s lord o’er us?Vers 4
For poor oppress’d,
and for the sighs of needy, rise will
I, Saith God, and him in safety set
from such as him defy.Vers 5
The words of God are words most pure;
they be like silver try’d
In earthen furnace, seven times
that hath been purify’d.Vers 6
Lord, thou shalt them preserve and keep
for ever from this race.
On each side walk the wicked, when
vile men are high in place.
