1. Help, Lord, for no one is faithful any more;those who are loyal have vanished from the human race.
2. Everyone lies to their neighbour;they flatter with their lipsbut harbour deception in their hearts.
3. May the Lord silence all flattering lipsand every boastful tongue –
4. those who say,‘By our tongues we will prevail;our own lips will defend us – who is lord over us?’
