| Psalms 12: (ASV) |
| 1) Help, Jehovah; for the godly man ceaseth; For the faithful fail from among the children of men. |
| 2) They speak falsehood every one with his neighbor: With flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak. |
| 3) Jehovah will cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that speaketh great things; |
| 4) Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; Our lips are our own: who is lord over us? |
| 5) Because of the oppression of the poor, because of the sighing of the needy, Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; I will set him in the safety he panteth for. |
| 6) The words of Jehovah are pure words; As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, Purified seven times. |
| 7) Thou wilt keep them, O Jehovah, Thou wilt preserve them from this generation for ever. |
| 8) The wicked walk on every side, When vileness is exalted among the sons of men. |
