⁴⁸ 主耶和華說：我指著我的永生起誓，你妹妹所多瑪與他的眾女尚未行你和你眾女所行的事。

¹ Help, Yahweh; for the godly man ceases. For the faithful fail from among the children of men.

² Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.

³ May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts,

⁴ who have said, "With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?"

⁵ "Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise," says Yahweh; "I will set him in safety from those who malign him."

⁶ The words of Yahweh are flawless words, as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.

⁷ You will keep them, Yahweh. You will preserve them from this generation forever.

⁸ The wicked walk on every side, when what is vile is exalted among the sons of men. For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
