Psalms 12

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE

1 (11-1) <Unto the end: for the octave, a psalm for David.> (11-2) Save me, O Lord, for there is now no saint: truths are decayed from among the children of men.

2 (11-3) They have spoken vain things, every one to his neighbour: with deceitful lips, and with a double heart have they spoken.

3 (11-4) May the Lord destroy all deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things.

4 (11-5) Who have said: We will magnify our tongue: our lips are our own: who is Lord over us?

5 (11-6) By reason of the misery of the needy, and the groans of the poor, now will I arise, saith the Lord. I will set him in safety: I will deal confidently in his regard.

6 (11-7) The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried by the fire, purged from the earth, refined seven times.

7 (11-8) Thou, O Lord, wilt preserve us: and keep us from this generation for ever.

8 (11-9) The wicked walk round about: according to thy highness, thou hast multiplied the children of men.

New International Version NIV

1 Help, LORD, for no one is faithful anymore; those who are loyal have vanished from the human race.

2 Everyone lies to their neighbor; they flatter with their lips but harbor deception in their hearts.

3 May the LORD silence all flattering lips and every boastful tongue—

4 those who say, “By our tongues we will prevail; our own lips will defend us—who is lord over us?”

5 “Because the poor are plundered and the needy groan, I will now arise,” says the LORD. “I will protect them from those who malign them.”

6 And the words of the LORD are flawless, like silver purified in a crucible, like gold refined seven times.

7 You, LORD, will keep the needy safe and will protect us forever from the wicked,

8 who freely strut about when what is vile is honored by the human race.
