| 12:1
| Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among
the children of men.
|
| 12:2
| They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: 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 speaketh
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, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth 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
| Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this
generation for ever.
|
| 12:8
| The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
