Psalms:12
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Help ,
LORD ;
for the godly man ceaseth ;
for the faithful fail from among the children of men .
*
They speak falsehood every one with his neighbour ;
with flattering lip ,
and with a double heart ,
do they speak .
*
May the LORD cut off all flattering lips ,
the tongue that speaketh proud things !
*
Who have said : '
Our tongue will we make mighty ;
our lips are with us :
who is lord over us ?'
* '
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 at whom they puff .'
*
The words of the LORD are pure words ,
as silver tried in a crucible on the earth ,
refined seven times .
*
Thou wilt keep them ,
O LORD ;
Thou wilt preserve us from this generation for ever .
*
The wicked walk on every side ,
when vileness is exalted among the sons of men .
