Psa Psalms, psalm Book of Psalms, psalm 12
For the Chief Musician; set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
Help, Jehovah; for the godly man ceaseth;
For the faithful fail from among the children of men.Isa 57:1; Mic 7:2
They speak falsehood every one with his neighbor:
With flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.Psa 28:3
Jehovah will cut off all flattering lips,
The tongue that speaketh great things;Gal 5:12
Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail;
Our lips are our own: who is lord over us?Exo 5:2; Job 21:15; Dan 3:15
Because of the oppression of the poor, because of the sighing of the needy,
Now will I arise, saith Jehovah;
I will set him in the safety he panteth for.
The words of Jehovah are pure words;
As silver tried in a furnace on the earth,
Purified seven times.2Sa 22:31; Pro 30:5
Thou wilt keep them, O Jehovah,
Thou wilt preserve them from this generation for ever.
The wicked walk on every side,
When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
