Psalms
12
- Help, O LORD, for the godly are no more; the faithful have vanished from among men.
- They lie to one another; they speak with flattering lips and a double heart.
- May the LORD cut off all flattering lips and every boastful tongue.
- They say, “With our tongues we will prevail. We own our lips—who can be our master?”
- “For the cause of the oppressed and for the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says the LORD. “I will bring safety to him who yearns.”
- The words of the LORD are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace, like gold purified sevenfold.
- You, O LORD, will keep us; You will forever guard us from this generation.
- The wicked wander freely, and vileness is exalted among men.
