English · King James Version (1611)

                    
1Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. 2They speak vanity every one with his neighbour:
with flattering lips
and with a double heart do they speak. 3The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips,
and the tongue that speaketh proud things: 4Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips
are
 our own: who
is lord over us? 5For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set
him in safety
from him that
 puffeth at him.

6εγω δε επι τω ελεει ϲου ηλπιϲα αγαλλιαϲεται η καρδια μου επι τω ϲωτηριω ϲου αϲω τω κω τω ευεργετηϲαντι με και ψαλω τω ονοματι κυ του υψιϲτου

          


          

            
English · King James Version (1611)

                    
6The words of the LORD
are pure words:
as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. 8The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
