Psalm 11

Help, O Lord, for good people have vanished;

truth has gone from the children of people.

Falsehood they speak to one another,

with lying lips, with a false heart.

May the Lord destroy all lying lips,

the tongue that speaks high-sounding words,

they who say: Our tongue is our strength;

our lips are our own, who is our master?

For the poor who are oppressed and the needy who groan

I myself will arise, says the Lord.

I will grant them the salvation of which they thirst.
