Psalm 12
| 1 | Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. | |
| 2 | They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. | |
| 3 | The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things: | |
| 4 | Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us? | |
| 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 | The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. | |
| 7 | Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. | |
| 8 | The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted. |
