Psalm 12
To the
chief Musician upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.
1 Help,
Lord; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful
fail from among the children of men.
2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour:
with flattering lips and with a double heart do they
speak.
3 The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips, and
the tongue that speaketh proud things:
4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail;
our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of
the needy, now will I arise, saith the Lord; I will
set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver
tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7 Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve
them from this generation for ever.
8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men
are exalted.
