Commentary

side-by-side

To the leader: according to The Sheminith. A Psalm of David. ¹

Help, O LORD, for there is no longer anyone who is godly; the faithful have disappeared from humankind. ² They utter lies to each other; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.

May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that makes great boasts, ⁴ those who say, “With our tongues we will prevail; our lips are our own—who is our master?”

⁵

“Because the poor are despoiled, because the needy groan, I will now rise up,” says the LORD; “I will place them in the safety for which they long.” ⁶ The promises of the LORD are promises that are pure, silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times.

⁷

You, O LORD, will protect us; you will guard us from this generation forever. ⁸ On every side the wicked prowl, as vileness is exalted among humankind.
