A Prayer for Silence and Concentration
[1] Help, Lord, for no one is faithful anymore;
those who are loyal have vanished from the human race.
[2] Everyone lies to their neighbor;
they flatter with their lips
but harbor deception in their hearts.
[3] May the Lord silence all flattering lips
and every boastful tongue—
[4] those who say,
“By our tongues we will prevail;
our own lips will defend us—who is lord over us?”
[5] “Because the poor are plundered and the needy groan,
I will now arise,” says the Lord.
“I will protect them from those who malign them.”
[6] And the words of the Lord are flawless,
like silver purified in a crucible,
like gold refined seven times.
[7] You, Lord, will keep the needy safe
and will protect us forever from the wicked,
[8] who freely strut about
when what is vile is honored by the human race.
