Psalm 12.

To the chief musician upon Chamath.

A Psalm of David.

Help, Lord; for the godly man
ceaseth; for the faithful fail

from among the children of men.

They speak vanity every one with his
neighbour: with flattering lips and

with a double heart do they speak.

The Lord shall cut off all
flattering lips, and the tongue

that speaketh proud things:

Who have said, With our tongue
will we prevail; our lips are

our own: who is lord over us?

For the oppression of the poor, for
the sighing of the needy, now will I

arise, saith the Lord; I will set him
in safety from him that puffeth at him.

The words of the Lord are pure
words: as silver tried in a furnace

of earth, purified seven times.

Thou shalt keep them, O Lord,
thou shalt preserve them from

this generation for ever.

The wicked walk on every side,
when the vilest men are exalted.
