Psalms, Chapter 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 best multiplied the children of men.
