ECB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ To His Eminence; On the Octave; A Psalm by David. Save, O Yah Veh; for the mercied decease; for the trustworthy disappear from among the sons of humanity. ² Every man words vanity with his friend; with lips that smooth it over they word heart to heart. ³ Yah Veh cuts off all lips that smooth it over and the tongue that words greatnesses: ⁴ who say, With our tongue we prevail mightily; our lips are our own; who is adoni over us? ⁵ For the devastation of the humble, for the shrieking of the needy, I now rise, says Yah Veh; I set him in safety from him who puffs at him. ⁶ The sayings of Yah Veh are pure sayings; as silver refined in a furnace of earth - refined sevenfold. ⁷ Guard them, O Yah Veh, guard us from this generation eternally. ⁸ The wicked walk all around, when the violent sons of humanity are exalted.
