Psalm 12:1-8 CEV

[1] Please help me, LORD! All who were faithful and all who were loyal have disappeared. [2] Everyone tells lies, and no one is sincere. [3] Won't you chop off all flattering tongues that brag so loudly? [4] They say to themselves, "We are great speakers. No one else has a chance." [5] But you, LORD, tell them, "I will do something! The poor are mistreated and helpless people moan. I'll rescue all who suffer." [6] Our LORD, you are true to your promises, and your word is like silver heated seven times in a fiery furnace. [7] You will protect us and always keep us safe from those people. [8] But all who are wicked will keep on strutting, while everyone praises their shameless deeds.
