The Psalms

chapter 12


Chapters:


verse #1

For the Chief Musician; upon an eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm of David. Help, Yahweh; for the godly man ceases. For the faithful fail from among the children of men.


verse #2

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


verse #3

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


verse #4

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


verse #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.”


verse #6

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


verse #7

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


verse #8

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