EnglishHebrewEnglish transliteration

1. For the Leader; on the Sheminith. A Psalm of David.

2. Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; For the faithful fail from among the children of men.

3. They speak falsehood every one with his neighbour; With flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.

4. May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that speaketh proud things!

5. Who have said: 'Our tongue will we make mighty; Our lips are with us: who is lord over us?'

6. 'For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, Now will I arise', saith the LORD; 'I will set him in safety at whom they puff.' .

7. The words of the LORD are pure words, As silver tried in a crucible on the earth, refined seven times.

8. Thou wilt keep them, O LORD; Thou wilt preserve us from this generation for ever.

9. The wicked walk on every side, When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.

א  לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל-הַשְּׁמִינִית,    מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד. ב  הוֹשִׁיעָה יְהוָה, כִּי-גָמַר חָסִיד:    כִּי-פַסּוּ אֱמוּנִים, מִבְּנֵי אָדָם. ג  שָׁוְא, יְדַבְּרוּ--אִישׁ אֶת-רֵעֵהוּ:    שְׂפַת חֲלָקוֹת--בְּלֵב וָלֵב יְדַבֵּרוּ. ד  יַכְרֵת יְהוָה, כָּל-שִׂפְתֵי חֲלָקוֹת--    לָשׁוֹן, מְדַבֶּרֶת גְּדֹלוֹת. ה  אֲשֶׁר אָמְרוּ, לִלְשֹׁנֵנוּ נַגְבִּיר--שְׂפָתֵינוּ אִתָּנוּ:    מִי אָדוֹן לָנוּ. ו  מִשֹּׁד עֲנִיִּים,    מֵאֶנְקַת אֶבְיוֹנִים: עַתָּה אָקוּם, יֹאמַר יְהוָה;    אָשִׁית בְּיֵשַׁע, יָפִיחַ לוֹ. ז  אִמְרוֹת יְהוָה,    אֲמָרוֹת טְהֹרוֹת: כֶּסֶף צָרוּף, בַּעֲלִיל לָאָרֶץ;    מְזֻקָּק, שִׁבְעָתָיִם. ח  אַתָּה-יְהוָה תִּשְׁמְרֵם;    תִּצְּרֶנּוּ, מִן-הַדּוֹר זוּ לְעוֹלָם. ט  סָבִיב, רְשָׁעִים יִתְהַלָּכוּן;    כְּרֻם זֻלּוּת, לִבְנֵי אָדָם.
