0. To the choirmaster: according to The Sheminith. A Psalm of David.

1. [For the choirmaster On the octachord Psalm Of David] Help, Yahweh! No one loyal is left, the faithful have vanished from among the children of Adam.

1. Help, LORD; for there is no longer any that is godly; for the faithful have vanished from among the sons of men.

2. Friend tells lies to friend, and, smooth-tongued, speaks from an insincere heart.

2. Every one utters lies to his neighbor; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.

3. May Yahweh cut away every smooth lip, every boastful tongue,

3. May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that makes great boasts,

4. those who say, 'In our tongue lies our strength, our lips are our allies; who can master us?'

4. those who say, "With our tongue we will prevail, our lips are with us; who is our master?"

5. 'For the poor who are plundered, the needy who groan, now will I act,' says Yahweh, 'I will grant salvation to those who sigh for it.'

5. "Because the poor are despoiled, because the needy groan, I will now arise," says the LORD; "I will place him in the safety for which he longs."

6. Yahweh's promises are promises unalloyed, natural silver which comes from the earth seven times refined.

6. The promises of the LORD are promises that are pure, silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times.

7. Do thou, O LORD, protect us, guard us ever from this generation.

8. The wicked will scatter in every direction, as the height of depravity among the children of Adam.
