The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, And the tongue that speaketh proud things:

May the Lord cut off all flattering lips and the tongues that speak proud boasting,

Jehovah will cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that speaketh great things;

Let the LORD cut off all slick-talking lips and every tongue that brags and brags,

How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

I said, when I was in my haste, that all men liars be.

I know God will th' afflicted's cause maintain, and poor men's right.

In their own fat they are inclos'd; their mouth speaks loftily.

Cast thou thy burden on the Lord, and he shall thee sustain; Yea, he shall cause the righteous man unmoved to remain.
