Psalms 12

   |   

For the director of music. According to sheminith . A psalm of David.

(F25)
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.
