The Book of Psalms

 

Chapter 12

 

 

1.

 

To the chief Musician upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.

    
 
 

2.

 

They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: [with] flattering lips [and] with a double heart do they speak.

    
 
 

3.

 

The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, [and] the tongue that speaketh proud things:

    
 
 

4.

 

Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips [are] our own: who [is] lord over us?

    
 
 

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.

    
 
 

6.

 

The words of the LORD [are] pure words: [as] silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

    
 
 

7.

 

Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

    
 
 

8.

 

The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
