" Save me, O Lord, because holiness has passed away, because truths have been diminished, before the sons of men. "
— Psalms 11:2, Catholic Public Domain Version
“For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.”
“For, lo, the wicked bend the bow, They make ready their arrow upon the string, That they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart; ”
“For, behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrows on the strings, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.”
“For look, the wicked prepare their bows, they put their arrows on the strings, to shoot in the darkness at the morally upright.”
“Save me, O Lord, for there is now no saint: truths are decayed from among the children of men.”
“See, the bows of the evil-doers are bent, they make ready their arrows on the cord, so that they may send them secretly against the upright in heart.”
“For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.”
Unto the end. For the octave. A Psalm of David.
Save me, O Lord, because holiness has passed away, because truths have been diminished, before the sons of men.
They have been speaking emptiness, each one to his neighbor; they have been speaking with deceitful lips and a duplicitous heart.
May the Lord scatter all deceitful lips, along with the tongue that speaks malice.
They have said: “We will magnify our tongue; our lips belong to us. What is Lord to us?”
