Psalms 12

A Prayer Against Liars

For the director of music. Upon the sheminith. A psalm of David.

1 Save me, Lord, because the good people are all gone;
    no true believers are left on earth.
2 Everyone lies to his neighbors;
    they say one thing and mean another.

3 The Lord will stop those flattering lips
    and cut off those bragging tongues.
4 They say, "Our tongues will help us win.
    We can say what we wish; no one is our master."

5 But the Lord says,
"I will now rise up,
    because the poor are being hurt.
Because of the moans of the helpless,
    I will give them the help they want."
6 The Lord's words are pure,
    like silver purified by fire,
    like silver purified seven times over.

7 Lord, you will keep us safe;
    you will always protect us from such people.
8 But the wicked are all around us;
    everyone loves what is wrong.
