Psalms 12Man’s Treachery And God’s Constancy
To The Chief Musician, Upon Sheminith, A Psalm Of David
King James Version
1 Help, Lord; for the godly man ceaseth;
for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour:with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
3 The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips,
and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail;our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
5 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.
I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
6 The words of the Lord are pure words:
as silver tried in a furnace of earth,
purified seven times.
7 Thou shalt keep them, O Lord,purified seven times.
thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
8 The wicked walk on every side,
when the vilest men are exalted.
God, A Helper Against The Treacherous
