11:1For the end, concerning the eighth. A psalm of David.

11:2Save me, Lord, for the holy one is gone;

for truths have become few among the sons of humankind.

11:3Each spoke empty things to his neighbor;

deceitful lips spoke with a heart and a heart.

11:4May the Lord destroy all deceitful lips

and a boastful tongue—

11:5those who said, “We will magnify our tongue;

our lips are our own; who is our lord?”

11:6“Because of the misery of the poor

and because of the groaning of the needy,

now I will arise,” says the Lord.

“I will set him in salvation; I will speak openly in him.”

11:7The sayings of the Lord are pure sayings,

silver tried by fire, tested in the earth,

purified sevenfold.

11:8You, Lord, will keep us

and preserve us from this generation and forever.

11:9The ungodly walk around;

according to Your height, You held the sons of humankind in high regard.
