Chapter 12
|
1
|
Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful
fail from among the children of men. |
2
|
They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with
flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. |
3
|
The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the
tongue that speaketh proud things: |
4
|
Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our
lips are our own: who is lord over us? |
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. |
6
|
The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried
in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. |
7
|
Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them
from this generation for ever. |
8
|
The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men
are exalted. |
