1 To the chief Musician5329 upon5921 Sheminith,8067 A Psalm4210 of David.1732 Help,3467 LORD;3068 for3588 the godly man2623 ceaseth;1584 for3588 the faithful539 fail6461 from among the children4480 1121 of men.120

2 They speak1696 vanity7723 every one376 with854 his neighbor:7453 with flattering2513 lips8193 and with a double heart3820 3820 do they speak.1696

3 The LORD3068 shall cut off3772 all3605 flattering2513 lips,8193 and the tongue3956 that speaketh1696 proud things: 1419

4 Who834 have said,559 With our tongue3956 will we prevail;1396 our lips8193 are our own: who4310 is lord113 over us?

5 For the oppression4480 7701 of the poor,6041 for the sighing4480 603 of the needy,34 now6258 will I arise,6965 saith559 the LORD;3068 I will set7896 him in safety3468 from him that puffeth6315 at him.

6 The words565 of the LORD3068 are pure2889 words:565 as silver3701 tried6884 in a furnace5948 of earth,776 purified2212 seven7659 times.

7 Thou859 shalt keep8104 them, O LORD,3068 thou shalt preserve5341 them from4480 this2098 generation1755 forever.5769

8 The wicked7563 walk1980 on every side,5439 when the vilest2149 men120 are exalted.7311

Psalms

Psalm 12

1 SAVE, O LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for faith hath disappeared from the earth.

2 Men speak vanity, every one with his neighbour; with flattering lips, and with a double heart do they speak.

3 The LORD shall destroy all flattering lips and tongues that speak proud things.

4 For they 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 poor and the groans of the needy, now will I arise, says the LORD; and I will bring salvation openly.

6 The words of the LORD are pure words; as silver tried in a furnace on earth, they are purified seven times.

7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD; thou shalt preserve me and save me from this generation for ever.

8 For the wicked walk everywhere with contemptible pride like the children of Edom.
