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。

（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。
人人向鄰舍說謊；他們說話，是嘴唇油滑，心口不一。
凡油滑的嘴唇和誇大的舌頭，耶和華必要剪除。
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？
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。
耶和華的言語是純淨的言語，如同銀子在泥爐中煉過七次。
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。
下流人在世人中升高，就有惡人到處遊行。

<For the chief music-maker on the Sheminith. A Psalm. Of David.>
Send help, Lord, for mercy has come to an end; there is no more faith among the children of men.
Everyone says false words to his neighbour: their tongues are smooth in their talk, and their hearts are full of deceit.
The smooth lips and the tongue of pride will be cut off by the Lord.
They have said, With our tongues will we overcome; our lips are ours: who is lord over us?
Because of the crushing of the poor and the weeping of those in need, now will I come to his help, says the Lord; I will give him the salvation which he is desiring.
The words of the Lord are true words: like silver tested by fire and burned clean seven times.
You will keep them, O Lord, you will keep them safe from this generation for ever.
The sinners are walking on every side, and evil is honoured among the children of men.
