Psalms 12

   |   

Yahweh Will Set the Needy in Safety

For the choir director. According to the (FA)Sheminith. A Psalm of David.

1 Save, O Yahweh, for (C1)the holy man ceases to be,
For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.

2 They (C1)speak worthlessness to one another;
With a (C2)flattering lip and with a double heart they speak.

3 May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips,
The tongue that (C1)speaks great things;

4 Who (C1)have said, "With our tongue we will prevail;
Our lips are (F1)our own; who is lord over us?"

5 "Because of the (C1)devastation of the afflicted, because of the groaning of the needy,
Now (C2)I will arise," says Yahweh; "I will (C3)set him in the (F1)safety for which he (F2)longs."

6 The (C1)words of Yahweh are pure words;
As silver (C2)tried in a furnace on the ground, refined seven times.

7 You, O Yahweh, will keep them;
You will (C1)guard him from this generation forever.

8 The (C1)wicked strut about on every side
When (F1)(C2)vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
