Help
Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God!
For You have struck all my enemies on the cheek;
You have shattered the teeth of the wicked.
Return, O Lord, rescue my soul;
Save me because of Your [unfailing] steadfast love and mercy.
And vindicate me by Your [wondrous] power.

Faithful
Many a man proclaims his own loyalty and goodness,
But who can find a faithful and trustworthy man?
No one sues righteously [but for the sake of doing injury to others—to take some undue advantage], and no one pleads [his case] in truth; [but rather]
They trust in empty arguments and speak lies;
They conceive trouble and bring forth injustice.

Why do You make me see iniquity,
And cause me to look on wickedness?
For destruction and violence are before me;
Strife continues and contention arises.
