12:1 For the music director; on the Sheminith. A psalm of David. Save, O Yahweh, for the pious have ceased to be; for the faithful have vanished from among the children of humankind.
12:2 They speak falseness to each other. With flattering lips, with a double heart they speak.
12:3 May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips, the tongue speaking great boasts—
12:4 those who say, “With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips are on our side. Who is master over us?”
12:5 “Because of the oppression of the afflicted, because of the groaning of the poor, now I will rise up,” Yahweh says. “I shall put them in the safety for which they long.”
12:6 The words of Yahweh are pure words like silver refined in the crucible on the ground, refined seven times.
12:7 You, O Yahweh, will protect them. You will preserve him from this generation always.
12:8 The wicked prowl about when vileness is exalted among the children of humankind.
