God, help! No one is faithful.
Humans cannot be trusted,
everyone’s words are empty—
bloated untruths, glazed with sweet talk.
God, please seal flattering mouths.
Mute minds that boast “We always
win with words—who can stymie us?”
Messiah, keep the promises.
You hear needy people’s groans,
You will stop thieves of poor folks.
Your Words gleam like sun on ice,
Pure as baby’s first teardrops.
Love, safeguard hassled people,
extricate us from rat-racers
who parade degradation.
