Psalms:12

* For the Chief Musician ; upon an eight-stringed lyre . A Psalm of David . Help , Yahweh ; for the godly man ceases . For the faithful fail from among the children of men . * Everyone lies to his neighbor . They speak with flattering lips , and with a double heart . * May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips , and the tongue that boasts , * who have said , "With our tongue we will prevail . Our lips are our own . Who is lord over us ?" * "Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy , I will now arise ," says Yahweh ; "I will set him in safety from those who malign him ." * The words of Yahweh are flawless words , as silver refined in a clay furnace , purified seven times . * You will keep them , Yahweh . You will preserve them from this generation forever . * The wicked walk on every side , when what is vile is exalted among the sons of men .
