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