World English Bible
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Help, LORD; for the godly man ceases. For the faithful fail from among the children of men.
1In finem. Psalmus David. [Usquequo, Domine, oblivisceris me in finem? usquequo avertis faciem tuam a me?
2Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.
2quamdiu ponam consilia in anima mea; dolorem in corde meo per diem?
3May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts,
3usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me?
4who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?”
4Respice, et exaudi me, Domine Deus meus. Illumina oculos meos, ne umquam obdormiam in morte;
5“Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says the LORD; “I will set him in safety from those who malign him.”
5nequando dicat inimicus meus: Prævalui adversus eum. Qui tribulant me exsultabunt si motus fuero;
6The LORD’s words are flawless words, as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.
6ego autem in misericordia tua speravi. Exsultabit cor meum in salutari tuo. Cantabo Domino qui bona tribuit mihi; et psallam nomini Domini altissimi.]
7You will keep them, LORD. You will preserve them from this generation forever.
