Psalm 12:1-8 GW

[1] Help, O LORD. No godly person is left. Faithful people have vanished from among Adam's descendants! [2] All people speak foolishly. They speak with flattering lips. They say one thing but mean another. [3] May the LORD cut off every flattering lip and every bragging tongue [4] that has said, "We will overcome with our tongues. With lips such as ours, who can be our master?" [5] "Because oppressed people are robbed and needy people groan, I will now arise," says the LORD. "I will provide safety for those who long for it." [6] The promises of the LORD are pure, like silver refined in a furnace and purified seven times. [7] O LORD, you will protect them. You will keep each one safe from those people forever. [8] Wicked people parade around when immorality increases among Adam's descendants.
