〔大衛的詩，交與伶長。調用第八。〕
耶和華啊，求你幫助，因虔誠人斷絕了；世人中間的忠信人沒有了。
Save, O LORD, for the godly one is gone; for the faithful have vanished from among the children of man.
〔大衛的詩，交與伶長。調用第八。〕
耶和華啊，求你幫助，因虔誠人斷絕了；世人中間的忠信人沒有了。
Save, O LORD, for the godly one is gone; for the faithful have vanished from among the children of man.
人人向鄰舍說謊；他們說話，是嘴唇油滑，心口不一。
Everyone utters lies to his neighbor; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.
凡油滑的嘴唇和誇大的舌頭，耶和華必要剪除。
May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that makes great boasts,
他們曾說：我們必能以舌頭得勝；我們的嘴唇是我們自己的，誰能作我們的主呢？
those who say, “With our tongue we will prevail, our lips are with us; who is master over us?”
耶和華說：因為困苦人的冤屈和貧窮人的歎息，我現在要起來，把他安置在他所切慕的穩妥之地。
“Because the poor are plundered, because the needy groan, I will now arise,” says the LORD; “I will place him in the safety for which he longs.”
耶和華的言語是純淨的言語，如同銀子在泥爐中煉過七次。
The words of the LORD are pure words, like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times.
耶和華啊，你必保護他們；你必保佑他們永遠脫離這世代的人。
You, O LORD, will keep them; you will guard us from this generation forever.
下流人在世人中升高，就有惡人到處遊行。
On every side the wicked prowl, as vileness is exalted among the children of man.
