Psalms 12

Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
They speak vanity every one with his neighbour:
with flattering lips
and with a double heart do they speak.
The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips,
and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips
are
our own: who
is lord over us?
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.
The words of the LORD
are pure words:
as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
