Psalm 11 — The Holy Bible

For the End, concerning the eighth; a psalm by David.

Save me, O Lord, for the holy man has ceased;

The truthful are diminished from among the sons of men.

Each one speaks useless things to his neighbor;

Deceptive lips speak with a double heart.

May the Lord destroy all deceptive lips

And the tongue that speaks boastful things,

Saying, “We will make our tongue powerful;

Our lips are our own;

Who is lord over us?”

“Because of the suffering of the needy,

And because of the groaning of the poor,

Now I will arise,” says the Lord;

“I will establish them in salvation;

I will declare it boldly.”

The words of the Lord are pure words,

Like silver fired in a furnace of earth,

Purified seven times.

You shall guard us, O Lord;

You shall preserve us from this generation forever.

The ungodly walk in a circle;

In Your exaltation, You highly exalted the sons of men.
