Psalm 12

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

1 Help, Lord, for no faithful one remains; the loyal have disappeared from the human race.

2 They lie to one another; they speak with flattering lips and deceptive hearts.

3 May the Lord cut off all flattering lips and the tongue that speaks boastfully.

4 They say, "Through our tongues we have power; our lips are our own-who can be our master?"

5 "Because of the oppression of the afflicted and the groaning of the poor, I will now rise up," says the Lord. "I will put in a safe place the one who longs for it."

6 The words of the Lord are pure words, like silver refined in an earthen furnace, purified seven times.

7 You, Lord, will guard us; You will protect us from this generation forever.

8 The wicked wander everywhere, and what is worthless is exalted by the human race.

4 those who say, “With our tongue we will prevail, our lips are with us; who is master over us? ”

5 “Because the poor are plundered, because the needy groan, I will now arise, ” says the Lord; “I will place 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, purified seven times.

7 You, O Lord, will keep them; you will guard us from this generation forever.

8 On every side the wicked prowl, as vileness is exalted among the children of man.
