Psalms

Chapter 12

  1. 1

    Help, Yahweh; for the godly man ceases. For the faithful fail from among the children of men.

  2. 2

    Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.

  3. 3

    May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts,

  4. 4

    who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?”

  5. 5

    “Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says Yahweh; “I will set him in safety from those who malign him.”

  6. 6

    Yahweh’s words are flawless words, as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.

  7. 7

    You will keep them, Yahweh. You will preserve them from this generation forever.

  8. 8

    The wicked walk on every side, when what is vile is exalted among the sons of men.
