Psalms 12

King James (Authorized) Version · 8 verses

  1. 1 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
  2. 2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
  3. 3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
  4. 4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
  5. 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. 6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
  7. 7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
  8. 8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
