Help me, LORD, for there is not one | godly• man left;

* for the faithful are minished from a- | -mong the •children• of men.

2 They talk of vanity every one | with his neighbour;

* they do but flatter with their lips, and dissemble | in their double heart.

3 The LORD shall root out all de- | -ceitful lips,

* and the tongue that | speaketh proud things;

4 Which have said, With our tongue will | we prevail;

* we are they that ought to speak; who is | lord over us?

5 Now, for the comfortless troubles' sake | of the needy,

* and because of the deep | sighing of the poor,

6 I will up, | saith the LORD;

* and will help every one from him that swelleth against him, | and will •set him• at rest.

7 The words of the LORD are | pure words;

* even as the silver which from the earth is tried, and purified | seven• times in the fire.

8 Thou shalt keep | them, O LORD;

* thou shalt preserve them from this | gener•ation• for ever.

9 The ungodly walk on | every side:

* when they are exalted, the children of | men are put •to re•buke.

Glory be to the Father, and | to the Son,

* and | to the Holy Ghost,

As it was in the beginning, is now, and | ever shall be,

* world without | end.  Amen.
