Psalm 12
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.
