| 12.1 |
Help, Yahweh; for the godly man ceases. For the faithful fail from among the children of men. |
| 12.2 |
Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart. |
| 12.3 |
May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts, |
| 12.4 |
who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?” |
| 12.5 |
“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.” |
| 12.6 |
Yahweh’s words are flawless words, as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times. |
| 12.7 |
You will keep them, Yahweh. You will preserve them from this generation forever. |
| 12.8 |
The wicked walk on every side, when what is vile is exalted among the sons of men. |
