Psalms Chapter 12

These 150 prayers were used by the Hebrews to express their relationship with God. They cover the whole field of human emotions, from joy to hate, from hope to despair.

American King James Version

12 : 1 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceases; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.

12 : 2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbor: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.

12 : 3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaks proud things:

12 : 4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

12 : 5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, said the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffs at him.

12 : 6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

12 : 7 You shall keep them, O LORD, you shall preserve them from this generation for ever.

12 : 8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
