1Unto the end; for the octave, a psalm for David.
1In the LORD, I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain”?
2Save me, O Lord, for there is now no saint: truths are decayed from among the children of men.
2For, behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrows on the strings, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
3They have spoken vain things every one to his neighbour: with deceitful lips, and with a double heart have they spoken.
3If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?
4May the Lord destroy all deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things.
4The LORD is in his holy temple. The LORD is on his throne in heaven. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men.
5Who have said: We will magnify our tongue; our lips are our own; who is Lord over us?
5The LORD examines the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and him who loves violence.
6By reason of the misery of the needy, and the groans of the poor, now will I arise, saith the Lord. I win set him in safety; I will deal confidently in his regard.
6On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; fire, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
7The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried by the fire, purged from the earth refined seven times.
7For the LORD is righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright shall see his face.
8Thou, O Lord, wilt preserve us: and keep us from this generation for ever.
