Salvum me fac.
1 Help me, Lord, for there is not one | godly • man | left; ||
for the faithful are minished from a- | mong the | 3 children of | men. ||
2 They talk of vanity | every • one with his | neighbour; ||
they do but flatter with their lips, and dis- | semble • in their | double | heart. ||
3 The Lord shall root out all de- | ceitful | lips, ||
and the | tongue that | speaketh | proud things; ||
4 Which have said, With our | tongue will • we pre- | vail; ||
we are they that | ought to • speak; | who is | lord • over us? ||
5 Now, for the comfortless trouble’s sake of the needy, * and because of the deep | sighing • of the | poor, ||
6 I will up, saith the Lord; * and will help every one from him that swelleth a- | gainst him, • and will | 3 set him • at | rest. ||

7 The words of the | Lord are | pure words; ||
even as the silver which from the earth is tried, and | puri•fied | seven times • in the | fire. ||
8 Thou shalt | 3 keep them, • O | Lord; ||
thou shalt preserve him from | this • gener- | 3 ation for | ever. ||

thou shalt preserve them from | this • gener- | 3 ation for | ever. ||
9 The ungodly walk on | ever•y | side: ||
when they are exalted, the children of | men are | put • to re- | buke. ||
Glory | be • to the | Father, ||
and to the Son, | and • to the | Holy | Ghost; ||
As it | was in • the be- | ginning, ||
is now, and ever shall be, * | world with•out | end. A- | men. ||
