Edified Edition (EDE)The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaks proud things,

שָׁ֤וְא ׀ יְֽדַבְּרוּ֮ אִ֤ישׁ אֶת־רֵ֫עֵ֥הוּ שְׂפַ֥ת חֲלָק֑וֹת בְּלֵ֖ב וָלֵ֣ב יְדַבֵּֽרוּ׃

4
Phonetic (Hebrew): yakere֣t ye֭hvah kּal-shsipete֣y chalaq֑ot la֝shsh֗on medabּe֥ret gּedolֽot׃
Edified Edition (EDE)who have said, "With our tongue we will prevail; our lips are our own; who is lord over us?"

יַכְרֵ֣ת יְ֭הוָה כָּל־שִׂפְתֵ֣י חֲלָק֑וֹת לָ֝שׁ֗וֹן מְדַבֶּ֥רֶת גְּדֹלֽוֹת׃

5
Phonetic (Hebrew): ashshe֤r 'aֽmer֨u ׀ lileshshone֣nu na֭gebּiyr shsepate֣ynu 'itּa֑nu mi֖y 'ad֣on laֽnu׃
Edified Edition (EDE)"For the oppression of the poor, for the groaning of the needy, now I will arise," says the LORD; "I will set him in safety from him who sneers at him."

אֲשֶׁ֤ר אָֽמְר֨וּ ׀ לִלְשֹׁנֵ֣נוּ נַ֭גְבִּיר שְׂפָתֵ֣ינוּ אִתָּ֑נוּ מִ֖י אָד֣וֹן לָֽנוּ׃

Edified Edition (EDE)The words of the LORD are pure words, as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

מִשֹּׁ֥ד עֲנִיִּים֮ מֵאַנְקַ֪ת אֶבְי֫וֹנִ֥ים עַתָּ֣ה אָ֭קוּם יֹאמַ֣ר יְהוָ֑ה אָשִׁ֥ית בְּ֝יֵ֗שַׁע יָפִ֥יחַֽ לֽוֹ׃

Edified Edition (EDE)You shall keep them, O LORD; you shall preserve them from this generation for ever.

אִֽמֲר֣וֹת יְהוָה֮ אֲמָר֪וֹת טְהֹ֫ר֥וֹת כֶּ֣סֶף צָ֭רוּף בַּעֲלִ֣יל לָאָ֑רֶץ מְ֝זֻקָּ֗ק שִׁבְעָתָֽיִם׃

8
Phonetic (Hebrew): atּaֽh-yehva֥h tּishshemere֑m tּitzּere֓nּu ׀ min-hadּ֖or z֣u le'olaֽm׃
Edified Edition (EDE)The wicked walk on every side when vileness is exalted among the sons of men.

אַתָּֽה־יְהוָ֥ה תִּשְׁמְרֵ֑ם תִּצְּרֶ֓נּוּ ׀ מִן־הַדּ֖וֹר ז֣וּ לְעוֹלָֽם׃

9

סָבִ֗יב רְשָׁעִ֥ים יִתְהַלָּכ֑וּן כְּרֻ֥ם זֻ֝לּ֗וּת לִבְנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃
