Psalms 12 : 1 - 8
Chapter 12
| 1 | Help, LORD, for the godly man ceases! For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.
|
| 2 | They speak idly everyone with his neighbor; With flattering lips and a double heart they speak.
|
| 3 | May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, And the tongue that speaks proud things,
|
| 4 | Who have said, "With our tongue we will 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 I will arise," says the LORD; "I will set him in the safety for which he yearns."
|
| 6 | The words of the LORD are pure words, Like silver tried in a furnace of earth, Purified seven times.
|
| 7 | You shall keep them, O LORD, You shall preserve them from this generation forever.
|
| 8 | The wicked prowl on every side, When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
