Psalms 12 NASB

«

1. Help, Lord, for the godly person has come to an end, For the faithful have disappeared from the sons of mankind.

2. They speak lies to one another; They speak with flattering lips and a double heart.

3. May the Lord cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that speaks great things;

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

5. “Because of the devastation of the poor, because of the groaning of the needy, Now I will arise,” says the Lord; “I will put him in the safety for which he longs.”

6. The words of the Lord are pure words; Like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, filtered seven times.

7. You, Lord, will keep them; You will protect him from this generation forever.

8. The wicked strut about on every side When vileness is exalted among the sons of mankind.
