1
Help, O Lord, for there is no longer anyone who is godly; the faithful have disappeared from humankind.
2
They utter lies to each other; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.
3
May the Lord cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that makes great boasts,
4
those who say, "With our tongues we will prevail; our lips are our own—who is our master?"
