Psalms

  1. 12:1  <> Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
  2. 2  They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
  3. 3  The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
  4. 4  Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
  5. 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. 6  The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
  7. 7  Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
  8. 8  The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
