Psa Psalms, psalm Book of Psalms, psalm 12
To him that excelleth upon the eight tune. A Psalme of Dauid. Helpe Lord, for there is not a godly man left: for the faithfull are fayled from among the children of men. Isa 57:1; Mic 7:2They speake deceitfully euery one with his neighbour, flattering with their lips, and speake with a double heart. Psa 28:3The Lord cut off all flattering lippes, and the tongue that speaketh proude things: Gal 5:12Which haue saide, With our tongue will we preuaile: our lippes are our owne: who is Lord ouer vs? Exo 5:2; Job 21:15; Dan 3:15Now for the oppression of the needy, and for the sighes of the poore, I will vp, sayeth the Lord, and will set at libertie him, whom the wicked hath snared. The wordes of the Lord are pure wordes, as the siluer, tried in a fornace of earth, fined seuen folde. 2Sa 22:31; Pro 30:5Thou wilt keepe them, O Lord: thou wilt preserue him from this generation for euer. The wicked walke on euery side: when they are exalted, it is a shame for the sonnes of men.
