NASB Bible

Psalms 12

For the choir director;  aupon an eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm of David.

1

Help, LORD, for  athe godly man ceases to be, For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.

2

They  aspeak  1falsehood to one another; With  bflattering  2lips and with a double heart they speak.

3

May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that  aspeaks great things;

4

Who  ahave said, "With our tongue we will prevail; Our lips are  1our own; who is lord over us?"

5

"Because of the  adevastation of the afflicted, because of the groaning of the needy, Now  bI will arise," says the LORD; "I will  cset him in the safety for which he longs."

6

The  awords of the LORD are pure words; As silver  btried in a furnace on the earth, refined seven times.

7

You, O LORD, will keep them; You will  apreserve him from this generation forever.

8

The  awicked strut about on every side When  1 bvileness is exalted among the sons of men.
