The Holy Bible

1Help Lord; for the godly man ceaseth;
for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour:
with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.   3 The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips,
and 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 For 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. 6 The words of the Lord are pure words:
as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.   7 Thou shalt keep them, O Lord,
thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. 8 The wicked walk on every side,
when the vilest men are exalted.
