English Translation
For the leader; on the sheminith. A psalm of David. Help, O ETERNAL One!
For the faithful are no more;
the loyal have vanished from among mortals. People speak lies to one another;
their speech is smooth;
they talk with duplicity. May GOD cut off all flattering lips,
every tongue that speaks arrogance. They say, “By our tongues we shall prevail;
with lips such as ours, who can be our master?” “Because of the groans of the plundered poor and needy,
I will now act,” says GOD.
“I will give help,” [God] affirms to them.a“I will give help,” [God] affirms to them Meaning of Heb. uncertain. GOD’s words are pure words,
silver purged in an earthen crucible,
refined sevenfold. You, O ETERNAL One, will keep them,
guarding each from this agebfrom this age Meaning of Heb. uncertain. evermore. On every side the wicked roam
when baseness is exalted among mortals.cwhen baseness is exalted among mortals Meaning of Heb. uncertain.
