King James Version with Apocrypha
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Help, LORD ; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
1Unto the end, a psalm for David. How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me unto the end? how long dost thou turn away thy face from me?
2They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
2How long shall I take counsels in my soul, sorrow in my heart all the day?
3The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
3How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
4Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
4Consider, and hear me, O Lord my God. Enlighten my eyes that I never sleep in death:
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.
5Lest at any time my enemy say: I have prevailed against him. They that trouble me will rejoice when I am moved:
6The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
6But I have trusted in thy mercy. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation: I will sing to the Lord, who giveth me good things: yea I will sing to the name of the Lord the most high.
7Thou shalt keep them, O LORD , thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
