Psalm 11:1 — save me, Lord, for the holy one has failed; scarcity of the holy caused many heresies
“Save me, Lord, because a holy one has failed, because the truths have been diminished from the sons of men” (Psalm 11:1).
Because the gift of the truth is in danger of being extinguished, the holy ones have failed, and the truths have been diminished; the truths are not in the holy ones only, and holiness is also in those who are true.
Or because the holy ones have failed, for this reason the truths have been diminished; and perhaps the scarcity of the holy ones has become the cause of the many heresies.

11.1 Σῶσόν με, Κύριε, ο τι ἐκλέλοιπεν ο σιος, ο τι ὠλιγώθησαν αἱ ἀλήθειαι ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν τῶν ἀνθρώπων. ̓Επειδὴ κινδυνεύει τῆς ἀληθείας ἀπεσ βεσθῆναι τὸ χάρισμα, οἱ μὲν ο σιοι ἐκλελοί πασιν, αἱ δὲ ἀλήθειαι ὠλιγώθησαν· οὐκ ἐν τοῖς ὁσίοις μόνοις αἱ ἀλήθειαι, καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἀληθέσιν ἡ ὁσιότης. Η ἐπειδὴ οἱ ο σιοι ἐκ λελοίπασιν, διὰ τοῦτο ὠλιγώθησαν αἱ ἀλή θειαι· καὶ τάχα ἡ σπάνις τῶν ὁσίων αἰτία γέγονε τῶν πολλῶν αἱρέσεων.
