Psalms Chapter 12

1aTo the choirmaster concerning the eighth day division choir.↑

A Psalm of David.

1bSave, O Lord,

For the benevolent man has come to an end,

For faithfulness has ceased

Among the sons of Adam.

2Each man speaks falsehood to his neighbour;

They speak with flattering lips

And with an equivocal heart.

3The Lord will cut off all flattering lips

And the tongue that speaks bombastic words

4Those who say,

“We will be great with our tongue;

Our lips are with us.

Who is lord over us?”

5“Because of the oppression of the poor,

Because of the groaning of the needy,

I will now rise up,

Says the Lord;

I will place him who is railed at

In safety.”

6The words of the Lord are pure words;

They are silver,

Refined in a crucible for the earth,

Purified seven times.

7You, O Lord, will guard them;

You will preserve him from this generation age-abidingly.

8All around, the wicked walk about,

Whilst the basest of the sons of Adam are exalted.
