Clean words
Save us, Lord, because the faithful man is gone. The loyal have vanished from among the people. Everyone tells his neighbour something empty. They speak with smooth lips and a double heart. The LORD will cut off all flattering lips, and every tongue that speaks proud things, They say, ‘We'll prevail with our tongues. Our lips are our own — who is lord over us?’ 'Because the poor are oppressed and the needy groan, now I will arise,' says the LORD. 'I'll set him in safety from the one who puffs at him.' The words of the LORD are clean words, like silver refined in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. You'll keep them, Lord. You'll guard them from this generation forever. The wicked walk about on every side when vileness is exalted among men.
Save us, Lord, because the faithful man is gone. The loyal have vanished from among the sons of men. Everyone tells his neighbour something empty. They speak with smooth lips and a double heart. The Lord will cut off all smooth lips, and the tongue that talks big — the ones who've said: We'll win with our tongue. Our lips are our own. Who's master over us? Because the poor are wrecked and the needy groan, now I'll get up, says the Lord. I'll set him in the safety he's puffing after. The words of the Lord are clean words, like silver refined in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. You'll keep them, Lord. You'll guard them from this generation forever. The wicked walk about on every side when what's cheap is lifted up among the sons of men.
Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things: Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us? 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. The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
