for the faithful have vanished from among the children of man.

Everyone utters lies to his neighbor;

with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.

those who are loyal have vanished from the human race.

Everyone lies to their neighbor;

they flatter with their lips

but harbor deception in their hearts.

Help, Lord, for no faithful one remains;

the loyal have disappeared from the human race.

They lie to one another;

they speak with flattering lips and deceptive hearts.

Help, O Lord, for the godly are fast disappearing!

The faithful have vanished from the earth!

Neighbors lie to each other,

speaking with flattering lips and deceitful hearts.

Save, O Yahweh, for the pious have ceased to be;

for the faithful have vanished

from among the children of humankind.

They speak falseness to each other.

With flattering lips,

with a double heart they speak.
