Psalms 12

1 David, destitute of human comfort, craveth help from God. 3 He comforteth himself with God's judgments on the wicked, and confidence in God's tried promises.

 12:1 [[For the choir director; upon an eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm of David.]] Help 3467, LORD 3068, for the godly 2623 man 2623 ceases 1584 to be, For the faithful 539 disappear 6461 from among the sons 1121 of men 120.

 12:2 They speak 1696 falsehood 7723 to one 376 another 7453; With flattering 2513b lips 8193 and with a double 3820 heart 3820 they speak 1696.

 12:3 May the LORD 3068 cut 3772 off 3772 all 3605 flattering 2513b lips 8193, The tongue 3956 that speaks 1696 great 1419 things 1419;

 12:4 Who 834 have said 559, “With our tongue 3956 we will prevail 1396; Our lips 8193 are our own; who 4310 is lord 113 over us?”

 12:5 “Because 4480 of the devastation 7701 of the afflicted 6041, because 4480 of the groaning 603 of the needy 34, Now 6258 I will arise 6965,” says 559 the LORD 3068; “I will set 7896 him in the safety 3468 for which he longs 6315.”

 12:6 ¶ The words 565a of the LORD 3068 are pure 2889 words 565a; As silver 3701 tried 6884 in a furnace 5948 on the earth 776, refined 2212 seven 7659 times 7659.

 12:7 You, O LORD 3068, will keep 8104 them; You will preserve 5341 him from this 2098 generation 1755 forever 5769.

 12:8 The wicked 7563 strut 1980 about on every 5439 side 5439 When vileness 2149 is exalted 7311 among the sons 1121 of men 120.
