- Chapter 12 -

The pious are no more

1
For the chief musician; set to the Sheminith. A psalm of David. Help, Yahweh, for the godly have disappeared; the faithful have vanished.
2
Everyone says empty words to his neighbor; everyone speaks with flattering lips and a double heart.
3
Yahweh, cut off all flattering lips, every tongue declaring great things.
4
These are those who have said, “With our tongues will we prevail. When our lips speak, who can be master over us?”
5
“Because of violence against the poor, because of the groans of the needy, I will arise,” says Yahweh. “I will provide the safety for which they long.”
6
The words of Yahweh are pure words, like silver purified in a furnace on the earth, refined seven times.
7
You are Yahweh! You keep them. You preserve the godly people from this wicked generation and forever.
8
The wicked walk on every side when evil is exalted among the children of mankind.

The pious are no more

1
Help, LORD; for the godly man ceases. For the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2
Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.
3
May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts,
4
who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?”
5
“Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says the LORD; “I will set him in safety from those who malign him.”
6
The LORD’s words are flawless words, as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.
7
You will keep them, LORD. You will preserve them from this generation forever.
8
The wicked walk on every side, when what is vile is exalted among the sons of men.
