Psalms  12

  1. Help, LORD, for the godly are no more; the faithful have vanished from among men.
  2. Everyone lies to his neighbor; their flattering lips speak with deception.
  3. May the LORD cut off all flattering lips and every boastful tongue
  4. that says, "We will triumph with our tongues; we own our lips -- who is our master ?"
  5. "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."
  6. And the words of the LORD are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace of clay, purified seven times.
  7. O LORD, you will keep us safe and protect us from such people forever.
  8. The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.
