The Book of Psalms 12

Text size

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 ⚑

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 thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever ⚑

8 The wicked walk on every side when the vilest men are exalted ⚑
