1Help, Yahweh; for the godly man ceases. For the faithful fail from among the children of men.
1大卫的诗，交给诗班长，调用“舍尼”。耶和华啊！求你施行拯救，因为虔诚人没有了，在世人中的信实人也不见了。
2Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.
2他们彼此说谎，用谄媚的嘴唇说话，口是心非。
3May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts,
3愿耶和华剪除一切说谄媚话的嘴唇，和说夸大话的舌头。
4who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?”
4他们曾说：“我们必能以舌头取胜；我们的嘴唇是自己的，谁能作我们的主呢？”
5“Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says Yahweh; “I will set him in safety from those who malign him.”
5耶和华说：“因为困苦人的冤屈和贫穷人的叹息，我现在要起来，把他们安置在他们渴望的稳妥之中。”
6The words of Yahweh are flawless words, as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.
6耶和华的言语是纯净的言语，好像银子在泥炉中炼过，精炼过七次一样。
7You will keep them, Yahweh. You will preserve them from this generation forever.
7耶和华啊！求你保守我们（“我们”有古抄本作“他们”），保护我们（“我们”有古抄本作“他们”）永远脱离这世代的人。
8The wicked walk on every side, when what is vile is exalted among the sons of men.
8恶人到处横行，邪恶在世人中被高举。
