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