Psa Psalms, psalm Book of Psalms, psalm 12
For the Chief Musician; upon an eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm of David.
Help, Yahweh; for the godly man ceases.
For the faithful fail from among the children of men.Isa 57:1; Mic 7:2
Everyone lies to his neighbor.
They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.Psa 28:3
May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips,
and the tongue that boasts,Gal 5:12
who have said, “With our tongue we will 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 weak and because of the groaning of the needy,
I will now arise,” says Yahweh;
“I will set him in safety from those who malign him.”
Yahweh’s words are flawless words,
as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.2Sa 22:31; Pro 30:5
You will keep them, Yahweh.
You will preserve them from this generation forever.
The wicked walk on every side,
when what is vile is exalted among the sons of men.
