¹(12-1) For the Leader; on the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. (12-2) Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.

²(12-3) They speak falsehood every one with his neighbour; with flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.

³(12-4) May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh proud things!

⁴(12-5) Who have said: 'Our tongue will we make mighty; our lips are with us: who is lord over us?'

⁵(12-6) '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 at whom they puff.'

⁶(12-7) The words of the LORD are pure words, as silver tried in a crucible on the earth, refined seven times.

⁷(12-8) Thou wilt keep them, O LORD; Thou wilt preserve us from this generation for ever.

⁸(12-9) The wicked walk on every side, when vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
