Psalms 12 (kjv)

To the chief Musician^H5329 upon Sheminith^H8067, A Psalm^H4210 of David^H1732. Help^H3467, LORD^H3068; for the godly man^H2623 ceaseth^H1584; for the faithful^H539 fail^H6461 from among the children^H1121 of men^H120.²They speak^H1696 vanity^H7723 every one^H376 with his neighbour^H7453: with flattering^H2513 lips^H8193 and with a double^H3820 heart^H3820 do they speak^H1696.

³The LORD^H3068 shall cut off^H3772 all flattering^H2513 lips^H8193, and the tongue^H3956 that speaketh^H1696 proud^H1419 things:⁴Who have said^H559, With our tongue^H3956 will we prevail^H1396; our lips^H8193 are our own: who is lord^H113 over us?⁵For the oppression^H7701 of the poor^H6041, for the sighing^H603 of the needy^H34, now will I arise^H6965, saith^H559 the LORD^H3068; I will set^H7896 him in safety^H3468 from him that puffeth^H6315 at him.⁶The words^H565 of the LORD^H3068 are pure^H2889 words^H565: as silver^H3701 tried^H6884 in a furnace^H5948 of earth^H776, purified^H2212 seven times^H7659.⁷Thou shalt keep^H8104 them, O LORD^H3068, thou shalt preserve^H5341 them from this^H2098 generation^H1755 for ever^H5769.⁸The wicked^H7563 walk^H1980 on every side^H5439, when the vilest^H2149 men^{H1121 H120} are exalted^H7311.
