1. To the Overseer, on the octave. -- A Psalm of David. Save, Jehovah, for the saintly hath failed, For the stedfast have ceased From the sons of men:
2. Vanity they speak each with his neighbour, Lip of flattery! With heart and heart they speak.
3. Jehovah doth cut off all lips of flattery, A tongue speaking great things,
4. Who said, `By our tongue we do mightily: Our lips [are] our own; who [is] lord over us?`
5. Because of the spoiling of the poor, Because of the groaning of the needy, Now do I arise, saith Jehovah, I set in safety [him who] doth breathe for it.
6. Sayings of Jehovah [are] pure sayings; Silver tried in a furnace of earth refined sevenfold.
7. Thou, O Jehovah, dost preserve them, Thou keepest us from this generation to the age.
8. Around the wicked walk continually, According as vileness is exalted by sons of men!

1 To the Overseer, on the octave. -- A Psalm of David. Save, Jehovah, for the saintly hath failed, For the stedfast have ceased From the sons of men: 2 Vanity they speak each with his neighbour, Lip of flattery! With heart and heart they speak. 3 Jehovah doth cut off all lips of flattery, A tongue speaking great things, 4 Who said, `By our tongue we do mightily: Our lips *are our own; who is lord over us?` 5 Because of the spoiling of the poor, Because of the groaning of the needy, Now do I arise, saith Jehovah, I set in safety *him who doth breathe for it. 6 Sayings of Jehovah *are pure sayings; Silver tried in a furnace of earth refined sevenfold. 7 Thou, O Jehovah, dost preserve them, Thou keepest us from this generation to the age. 8 Around the wicked walk continually, According as vileness is exalted by sons of men!
