12:1  For the Music Director. According to The Sheminith. A Psalm of David. Help, Lord, for the godly man comes to an end, for the faithful disappear from sons of men.
12:2  They speak empty words, each with his own neighbor; they speak with flattering lips and a double heart.
12:3  The Lord will cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaks proud things,
12:4  who have said, “With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are in our control, who is master over us?”
12:5  “Because the poor are plundered, because the needy sigh, now I will arise,” says the Lord; “I will place him in the safety for which he yearns.”
12:6  The words of the Lord are pure words; they are silver tried in an earthen furnace refined seven times.
12:7  You will keep them, O Lord; You will preserve them from this generation.
12:8  The wicked walk on every side, when the worthless of mankind are exalted.
