1Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
1大衛的詩，交給詩班長，調用“舍尼”。耶和華啊！求你施行拯救，因為虔誠人沒有了，在世人中的信實人也不見了。
2They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
2他們彼此說謊，用諂媚的嘴唇說話，口是心非。
3The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
3願耶和華剪除一切說諂媚話的嘴唇，和說誇大話的舌頭。
4Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
4他們曾說：“我們必能以舌頭取勝；我們的嘴唇是自己的，誰能作我們的主呢？”
5For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
5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，把他們安置在他們渴望的穩妥之中。”
6The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
6耶和華的言語是純淨的言語，好像銀子在泥爐中煉過，精煉過七次一樣。
7Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
7耶和華啊！求你保守我們（“我們”有古抄本作“他們”），保護我們（“我們”有古抄本作“他們”）永遠脫離這世代的人。
8The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
8惡人到處橫行，邪惡在世人中被高舉。
