1For the Chief Musician; set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.
3The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh great things:
4Who have said, with our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
