Psalms 12

God a helper against the treacherous.

For the Chief Musician; set to Or, the eighth the Sheminith. A Psalm of David.

¹Help, Yahweh; for the godly man ceases. For the faithful fail from among the children of men.

²Everyone lies to his neighbor. With flattering lips, and with a double heart, do they speak.

³May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips, And the tongue that boasts,

⁴Who have said, "With our tongue will we prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?"

⁵"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."

⁶The words of Yahweh are flawless words, As silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.

⁷You will keep them, Yahweh, You will preserve them from this generation forever.

⁸The wicked walk on every side, When what is vile is exalted among the sons of men.
