Psalms, Psalm 12

Help, LORD, for the godly man ceases to be,
For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.

They speak^afalsehood to one another;
With flattering^blips and with a double heart they speak.

May the LORD cut off all flattering lips,
The tongue that speaks great things;

⁴

Who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail;
Our lips are^cour own; who is lord over us?”

⁵

“Because of the devastation of the afflicted, because of the groaning of the needy,
Now I will arise,” says the LORD; “I will set him in the safety for which he longs.”

⁶

The words of the LORD are pure words;
As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, refined seven times.

⁷

You, O LORD, will keep them;
You will preserve him from this generation forever.

⁸

The wicked strut about on every side
When^dvileness is exalted among the sons of men.
