12Psalms · Contemporary English Version (2006)

¹Please help me, Lord! All who were faithful and all who were loyal have disappeared.

²Everyone tells lies, and no one is sincere.

³Won't you chop off all flattering tongues that brag so loudly?

⁴They say to themselves, “We are great speakers. No one else has a chance.”

⁵But you, Lord, tell them, “I will do something! The poor are mistreated and helpless people moan. I'll rescue all who suffer.”

⁶Our Lord, you are true to your promises, and your word is like silver heated seven times in a fiery furnace.

⁷You will protect us and always keep us safe from those people.

⁸But all who are wicked will keep on strutting, while everyone praises their shameless deeds.
