Psalm 11

¹ Unto the end, for the octave, a psalm for David.

² Save me, O Lord, for there is now no saint: truths are decayed from among the children of men.

³ They have spoken vain things every one to his neighbour: with deceitful lips and with a double heart have they spoken.

⁴ May the Lord destroy all deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things.

⁵ Who have said: We will magnify our tongue; our lips are our own. Who is Lord over us?

⁶ By reason of the misery of the needy and the groans of the poor, now will I arise, saith the Lord. I win set him in safety; I will deal confidently in his regard.

⁷ The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried by the fire, purged from the earth refined seven times.

⁸ Thou, O Lord, wilt preserve us: and keep us from this generation for ever.

⁹ The wicked walk round about: according to thy highness, thou hast multiplied the children of men.
