12:1 1 The Prophet lamenting the miserable estate of the people, and the decay of all good order, desireth God speedily to send succor to his children. 7 Then comforting himself, and others with the assurance of God’s help, he commendeth the constant verity that God observeth in keeping his promises. To him that excelleth upon the eight tune. A Psalm of David. Help Lord, for there is not a godly man left: for the faithful are failed from among the children of men.
12:2 They speak deceitfully every one with his neighbor, flattering with their lips, and speak with a double heart.
12:3 The Lord cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
12:4 Which have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own; who is Lord over us?
12:5 Now for the oppression of the needy, and for the sighs of the poor, I will up, saith the Lord, and will set at liberty him, whom the wicked hath [snared].
12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words, as the silver, tried in a furnace of earth, fined sevenfold.
12:7 Thou wilt keep them, O Lord; thou wilt preserve him from this generation forever.
12:8 The wicked walk on every side; when they are exalted, it is a shame for the sons of men.
