Psalm 12
ISV Parallel BSB [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
International Standard VersionBerean Study Bible
1Help, LORD, for godly people no longer exist; trustworthy people have disappeared from humanity. 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.
2Everyone speaks lies to his neighbor; they speak with flattering lips and hidden motives. 2They lie to one another; they speak with flattering lips and a double heart.
3The LORD will cut off all slippery lips, and the tongue that boasts great things,3May the LORD cut off all flattering lips and every boastful tongue.
4those who say, "By our tongues we will prevail; our lips belong to us. Who is master over us?"4They say, “With our tongues we will prevail. We own our lips—who can be our master?”
5"Because the poor are being oppressed, because the needy are sighing, I will now arise," says the LORD, "I will establish in safety those who yearn for it."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.”
6The words of the LORD are pure, like silver refined in an earthen furnace, purified seven times over.6The words of the LORD are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace, like gold purified sevenfold.
7You, LORD, will keep them safe, you will guard them from this generation forever.7You, O LORD, will keep us; You will forever guard us from this generation.
8The wicked, however, keep walking around, exalting the vileness of human beings. 8The wicked wander freely, and vileness is exalted among men.
