12 : 1 Save, OLord, forthe godly one is gone;for the faithful have vanished from among the children of man.
|
12 : 2 Everyoneutters lies to his neighbor;withflattering lips anda double heart they speak.
|
12 : 3 May theLordcut off allflattering lips,the tongue that makesgreat boasts,
|
12 : 4 those who say,With our tongue we will prevail,our lips are with us; who is master over us?
|
12 : 5 Becausethe poor are plundered, because the needy groan,I will now arise,says theLord;I will place him in thesafety for which he longs.
|
12 : 6 The words of theLordare pure words,like silver refined in a furnace on the ground,purified seven times.
|
12 : 7 You, OLord, will keep them;you will guard usfrom this generation forever.
|
12 : 8 On every side the wicked prowl,as vileness is exalted among the children of man.
