Psalms Chapter 12 (NRSVCE)

Compare with Version:

¹ Help, O LORD, for there is no longer anyone who is godly; the faithful have disappeared from humankind.

² They utter lies to each other; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.

³ May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that makes great boasts,

⁴ those who say, “With our tongues we will prevail; our lips are our own — who is our master?”

⁵ “Because the poor are despoiled, because the needy groan, I will now rise up,” says the LORD; “I will place them in the safety for which they long.”

⁶ The promises of the LORD are promises that are pure, silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times.

⁷ You, O LORD, will protect us; you will guard us from this generation forever.

⁸ On every side the wicked prowl, as vileness is exalted among humankind.
