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 ¶ [[To the chief Musician upon Sheminith. A Psalm of David.]] Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.

 12:2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbor: [with] flattering lips [and] with a double heart do they speak.

 12:3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, [and] the tongue that speaketh proud things:

 12:4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips [are] our own: who [is] lord over us?

 12:5 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.

 12:6 The words of the LORD [are] pure words: [as] silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

 12:7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

 12:8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
