TO THE CHOIRMASTER: ACCORDING TO THE SHEMINITH. A PSALM OF DAVID. Save, O LORD, for the godly one is gone; for the faithful have vanished from among the children of man.
Psalms 12 : 2 (ESV)
Everyone utters lies to his neighbor; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.
Psalms 12 : 3 (ESV)
May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that makes great boasts,
Psalms 12 : 4 (ESV)
those who say, "With our tongue we will prevail, our lips are with us; who is master over us?"
Psalms 12 : 5 (ESV)
"Because the poor are plundered, because the needy groan, I will now arise," says the LORD; "I will place him in the safety for which he longs."
Psalms 12 : 6 (ESV)
The words of the LORD are pure words, like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times.
Psalms 12 : 7 (ESV)
You, O LORD, will keep them; you will guard us from this generation forever.
Psalms 12 : 8 (ESV)
On every side the wicked prowl, as vileness is exalted among the children of man.
