Psalm 12 (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 doublea heart do they speak .
3
The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proudb 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 puffethc 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 mend are exalted .
