¹ Help, LORD, for no one is faithful anymore; those who are loyal have vanished from the human race. ² Everyone lies to their neighbor; they flatter with their lips but harbor deception in their hearts. ³ ⁴ ⁵ "Because the poor are plundered and the needy groan, I will now arise," says the LORD. "I will protect them from those who malign them." ⁶ And the words of the LORD are flawless, like silver purified in a crucible, like gold refined seven times. ⁷ You, LORD, will keep the needy safe and will protect us forever from the wicked, ⁸ who freely strut about when what is vile is honored by the human race.
