Jehovah's Promises Are Sure
Help, O Jehovah! There is no longer a pious man on earth, we can no longer trust anyone. Everyone deceives his neighbor, telling him flattery, duplicity at heart. May God examine these people with flattering lips and arrogant tongues. May he cut off those who say: “Our tongue makes us strong, our allies are our lips, who would rule over us? » But Jehovah says: “Because of the poor who are oppressed and the needy who groan, now I am intervening to grant salvation to those who are despised. » The words of Jehovah are pure words, they are refined silver, seven times purified by fire in a crucible. Jehovah, you guard us and you will always protect us against these individuals. The wicked roam everywhere, When baseness reigns among the sons of men.
