Vanity they speak each with his neighbour, Lip of flattery! With heart and heart they speak.
3 May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, And the tongue that boasts,
3
Jehovah doth cut off all lips of flattery, A tongue speaking great things,

6 The words of the LORD are flawless words, As silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.
6
Sayings of Jehovah [are] pure sayings; Silver tried in a furnace of earth refined sevenfold.
7 You will keep them, LORD, You will preserve them from this generation forever.

Thou, O Jehovah, dost preserve them, Thou keepest us from this generation to the age.

Around the wicked walk continually, According as vileness is exalted by sons of men!
