KJV Psalms Chapter 12
To the chief Musician upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. 1 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. 2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: |with| flattering lips |and| with a double heart do they speak. 3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, |and| the tongue that speaketh proud things: 4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips |are| our own: who |is| lord over us? 5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set |him| in safety |from him that| puffeth at him. 6 The words of the LORD |are| pure words: |as| silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. 8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
