1 Help, O God; for the godly man ceaseth;For the faithful fail from among the children of men.2 They speak falsehood every one with his neighbor:With flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.3 God will cut off all flattering lips,The tongue that speaketh great things;4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail;Our lips are our own: who is lord over us?5 Because of the oppression of the poor, Because of the sighing of the needy,Now will I arise, saith God;I will set him in the safety he panteth for.6 The words of God are pure words;As silver tried in a furnace on the earth,Purified seven times.7 Thou wilt keep them, O God,Thou wilt preserve them from this generation for ever.8 The wicked walk on every side,When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.

I am surrounded by betrayal

Praised to my face

Flattered loudly

None better, they say

Another version of me

Is visited behind my back

I am misquoted

Defamed

Slandered

Where are you

Who promises to cut off

The lips of my accusers?

Who promises to keep me safe?

You turn me into a corporate wife

To be cheated on relentlessly

You claim

You are truth revealed

When in fact

You are the truth of money

Collected at the door
