Psalms 12

¹Help us, LORD! There is not a good person left; honest people can no longer be found.

²All of them lie to one another; they deceive each other with flattery.

³Silence those flattering tongues, O LORD! Close those boastful mouths that say,

⁴"With our words we get what we want. We will say what we wish, and no one can stop us."

⁵"But now I will come,"says the LORD, "because the needy are oppressed and the persecuted groan in pain. I will give them the security they long for."

⁶The promises of the LORD can be trusted; they are as genuine as silver refined seven times in the furnace.

⁷The wicked are everywhere, and everyone praises what is evil. Keep us always safe, O LORD, and preserve us from such people.
