Psalm 12
►
International Standard Version
1
Help, LORD, for godly people no longer exist; trustworthy people have disappeared from humanity.
2
Everyone speaks lies to his neighbor; they speak with flattering lips and hidden motives.
3
The LORD will cut off all slippery lips, and the tongue that boasts great things,
4
those who say, "By our tongues we will prevail; our lips belong to us. Who is master over us?"
5
"Because the poor are being oppressed, because the needy are sighing, I will now arise," says the LORD, "I will establish in safety those who yearn for it."
6
The words of the LORD are pure, like silver refined in an earthen furnace, purified seven times over.
7
You, LORD, will keep them safe, you will guard them from this generation forever.
8
The wicked, however, keep walking around, exalting the vileness of human beings.
