They lie to one another;
they speak with flattering lips and deceptive hearts.

The sorrows of those who take another god
for themselves will multiply;
I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood,
and I will not speak their names with my lips.

Even when I am old and gray,
God, do not abandon me.
Then I will proclaim Your power
to another generation,
Your strength to all who are to come.

for God is the Judge:
He brings down one and exalts another.

wandering from nation to nation
and from one kingdom to another,

Let his days be few;
let another take over his position.
