Psalm 12:1-8 ICB

[1] Save me, Lord, because the good people are all gone. No true believers are left on earth. [2] Everyone lies to his neighbors. They say one thing and mean another. [3] The Lord will stop those lying lips. He will cut off those bragging tongues. [4] They say, "Our tongues will help us win. We can say what we wish. No one is our master." [5] But the Lord says, "I will now rise up because the poor are being hurt. Because of the moans of the helpless, I will give them the help they want." [6] The Lord's words are pure. They are like silver purified by fire, like silver purified seven times over. [7] Lord, keep us safe. Always protect us from such people. [8] The wicked are all around us. Everyone loves what is wrong.
