The Faithful Have Vanished
To the choirmaster: according to The Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
1
Save, O LORD, for 1the godly one is gone; for the faithful have vanished from among the children of man.
4
those who say, "With our tongue we will prevail, our lips are with us; who is master over us?"
5
"Because 7the poor are plundered, because the needy groan, 8I will now arise," says the LORD; "I will place him in the 9safety for which he longs."
6
10The words of the LORD are pure words, like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times.
7
You, O LORD, will keep them; you will guard usa from this generation forever.
8
On every side the wicked prowl, as vileness is exalted among the children of man.
