Psalms
12:1 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among
the children of men.
12:2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and
with a double heart do they speak.
12:3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh
proud things:
12:4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own:
who is lord over us?
12:5 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.
12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of
earth, purified seven times.
12:7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this
generation for ever.
12:8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
