Tehillim - Psalms - Chapter 12


Chapter 12

1. For the conductor on the sheminith, a song of David.   א.
2. Save, O Lord, for the pious are gone, for the faithful have vanished from the sons of men.   ב.
3. One speaks to another with falseness, smooth talk; they speak with a double heart.   ג.
4. May the Lord cut off all smooth lips, the tongue that speaks great things.   ד.
5. Who said, "With our tongue we will overpower; our lips are with us. Who is lord over us?"   ה.
6. Because of the plunder of the poor, because of the cry of the needy, Now I will rise, the Lord shall say; I will grant them salvation, He shall speak concerning them.   ו.
7. The sayings of the Lord are pure sayings, like silver refined, exposed to the earth, clarified sevenfold.   ז.
8. You, O Lord, shall guard them; You shall guard him from this generation forever.   ח.
9. Wicked men walk on all sides when the [one who appears] basest to the sons of men is elevated.   ט.
