Psalms:12

* Help , LORD , for the godly man ceases ! For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men . * They speak idly everyone with his neighbor ; With flattering lips and a double heart they speak . * May the LORD cut off all flattering lips , And the tongue that speaks proud things , * Who have said , "With our tongue we will prevail ; Our lips are our own ; Who is lord over us ?" * "For the oppression of the poor , for the sighing of the needy , Now I will arise ," says the LORD ; "I will set him in the safety for which he yearns ." * The words of the LORD are pure words , Like silver tried in a furnace of earth , Purified seven times . * You shall keep them , O LORD , You shall preserve them from this generation forever . * The wicked prowl on every side , When vileness is exalted among the sons of men .
