KJ3 Literal Translation
Psalms 12
David is destitute of human comfort and craves help from Jehovah. He comforts himself with Jehovah's judgments, and confidence in Jehovah's promises. To the chief musician, on eight. A Psalm of David.
1To the chief musician, on eight. A Psalm of David. Help, O Jehovah, for the godly one ceases to be; for ones being faithful fail from among the sons of men.
2They speak vanity, each man with his neighbor; with flattering lips and with a heart and a heart they speak.
3Jehovah shall cut off all with flattering lips and the tongue that speaks great things;
4who say, We shall be strong by our tongue; our lips are our own; who is lord over us?
5For the pain of afflicted ones, for the sighing of the needy ones, I will now rise up, says Jehovah; I will set in safety; he pants for it.
6The words of Jehovah are pure words, like silver refined in an earthen furnace, purified seven times.
7You shall keep them, O Jehovah; You shall preserve them from this generation forever.
8The wicked ones walk around on every side, when vileness is exalted by the sons of men.
