12:1 Lord! Help! Godly men are fast disappearing. Where in all the world can dependable men be found?
12:2 Everyone deceives and flatters and lies. There is no sincerity left.
12:3 But the Lord will not deal gently with people who act like that; he will destroy those proud liars who say, “We will lie to our heart’s content. Our lips are our own; who can stop us?”
12:4 But the Lord will not deal gently with people who act like that; he will destroy those proud liars who say, “We will lie to our heart’s content. Our lips are our own; who can stop us?”
12:5 The Lord replies, “I will arise and defend the oppressed, the poor, the needy. I will rescue them as they have longed for me to do.”
12:6 The Lord’s promise is sure. He speaks no careless word; all he says is purest truth, like silver seven times refined.
12:7 O Lord, we know that you will forever preserve your own from the reach of evil men,
12:8 although they prowl on every side and vileness is praised throughout the land.
