Psalms
12
- Help, LORD, for the godly are no more; the
faithful have vanished from among men.
- Everyone lies to his neighbor; their flattering
lips speak with deception.
- May the LORD cut off all flattering lips
and every boastful tongue
- that says, "We will triumph with our
tongues; we own our lips -- who is our master ?"
- "Because of the oppression of the weak
and the groaning of the needy, I will now arise," says the LORD. "I
will protect them from those who malign them."
- And the words of the LORD are flawless,
like silver refined in a furnace of clay, purified seven times.
- O LORD, you will keep us safe and protect
us from such people forever.
- The wicked freely strut about when what
is vile is honored among men.
