Testaments

Psalms - Chapter 12 - King James Version

  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:withflattering lipsandwith a double heart do they speak.
  3. TheLORDshall cut off all flattering lips,andthe tongue that speaketh proud things:
  4. Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lipsareour own: whoislord over us?
  5. For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith theLORD; I will sethimin safetyfrom him thatpuffeth at him.
  6. The words of theLORDarepure words:assilver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
  7. Thou shalt keep them, OLORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
  8. The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
