Psalms 11

1Unto the end; for the octave, a psalm for David.

3They have spoken vain things every one to his neighbour: with deceitful lips, and with a double heart have they spoken.

4May the Lord destroy all deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things.

8Thou, O Lord, wilt preserve us: and keep us from this generation for ever.

9The wicked walk round about: according to thy highness, thou best multiplied the children of men.
