Psalms 12:2-5 ▼

2 They speak deceitful and worthless words to one another; With flattering lips and a double heart they speak.

3 May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that speaks great things [in boasting];

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

5 “Because of the devastation of the afflicted, because of the groaning of the needy, Now I will arise,” says the LORD; “I will place him in the safety for which he longs.”
