Psalms 12

1For the Chief Musician; set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. Help^H3467, Jehovah^H3068; For the godly man^H120 ceaseth^H1584; For the faithful^H539 fail^H6461 from among the children^H1121 of men^H120. 2They speak^H1696 falsehood^H7723 every one^H376 with his neighbor^H7453: With flattering^H2513 lip^H8193, and with a double^H3820 heart^H3820, do they speak^H1696. 3Jehovah^H3068 will cut off^H3772 all flattering^H2513 lips^H8193, The tongue^H3956 that speaketh^H1696 great^H1419 things; 4Who have said^H559, With our tongue^H3956 will we prevail^H1396; Our lips^H8193 are our own: Who is lord^H113 over us? 5Because of the oppression^H7701 of the poor^H6041, because of the sighing^H603 of the needy^H34, Now will I arise^H6965, saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068; I will set^H7896 him in the safety^H3468 he panteth^H6315 for. 6The words^H565 of Jehovah^H3068 are pure^H2889 words^H565; As silver^H3701 tried^H6884 in a furnace^H5948 on the earth^H776, Purified^H2212 seven times^H7659. 7Thou wilt keep^H8104 them, O Jehovah^H3068, Thou wilt preserve^H5341 them from this^H2098 generation^H1755 for ever^H5769. 8The wicked^H7563 walk^H1980 on every side^H5439, When vileness^H2149 is exalted^H7311 among the sons of men^H1121.
