1For the leader; on the sheminith. A psalm of David. Help, Lord, for the good are all gone, faithful people have vanished.
2One lies to another, speaking empty lies, with flattering lips and false hearts they speak.
3May the Lord cut off all the flattering lips, and the tongue that utters arrogance,
4they declare, “Our tongue is our strength, our allies our lips: who is lord over us?”
