Verse 1

Save O Lord for the godly one is gone
For the faithful have vanished
From among the children of man

Verse 2

Everyone utters lies to his neighbor
With flattering lips
And a double heart they speak

Chorus 1

May the Lord cut off all flattering lips
The tongue that makes great boasts
Those who say
With our tongue we will prevail
Our lips are with us
Who is master over us

Verse 3

Because the poor are plundered
Because the needy groan
I will now arise says the Lord
I will place him in the safety
For which he longs

Verse 4

The words of the Lord are pure words
Like silver refined
In a furnace on the ground
Purified seven times

Refrain

Save O Lord

Chorus 2

You O Lord will keep
Them You will guard us
From this generation forever
On every side the wicked prowl
As vileness is exalted
Among the children of man
