Psalm 12
Help, Lord, for the godly man seeth
For the faithful fail from among the children of men
They speak vanity, every one with his neighbor
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 hath said, with our tongue we will prevail
For 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 rise, 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 forever
The wicked walk on every side when the vilest men are exalted
