This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
12 For the musical director: a song by David to be played on the eight-stringed instrument.
1 Help, Yahweh, because faithful people seem to have disappeared.
≈ Those who have integrity have vanished from among humanity.
2 Everyone says empty words to their neighbours.
≈ Everyone speaks with flattering lips and deceitful motives.
3 Yahweh, cut off all those flattering lips,
≈ and every tongue that exaggerates.
4 These are those who have said, “With our tongues we’ll get whatever we want.
≈ When our lips speak, who can tell us what to do?”
5 Yahweh says, “I’ll take action
because of the violence against the poor and the groans of the needy.
I’ll provide the safety that they’ve been longing for.”
6 Yahweh’s words are pure words,
like silver purified in a furnace on the earth—
refined seven times over.
7 Yahweh, you will protect them.
Yes, forever protect us from this violent generation.
8 Wicked people prowl all around
when evil is promoted for humanity.
