Psalm 12
BSB Parallel ESV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
Berean Study BibleEnglish Standard Version
1For the choirmaster. According to Sheminith. A Psalm of David. Help, O LORD, for the godly are no more; the faithful have vanished from among men.1Save, O LORD, for the godly one is gone; for the faithful have vanished from among the children of man.
2They lie to one another; they speak with flattering lips and a double heart.2Everyone utters lies to his neighbor; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.
3May the LORD cut off all flattering lips and every boastful tongue.3May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that makes great boasts,
4They say, “With our tongues we will prevail. We own our lips—who can be our master?”4those who say, “With our tongue we will prevail, our lips are with us; who is master over us?”
5“For the cause of the oppressed and for the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says the LORD. “I will bring safety to him who yearns.”5“Because the poor are plundered, because the needy groan, I will now arise,” says the LORD; “I will place him in the safety for which he longs.”
6The words of the LORD are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace, like gold purified sevenfold.6The words of the LORD are pure words, like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times.
7You, O LORD, will keep us; You will forever guard us from this generation.7You, O LORD, will keep them; you will guard us from this generation forever.
8The wicked wander freely, and vileness is exalted among men.8On every side the wicked prowl, as vileness is exalted among the children of man.
