­PSA 12:1  Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from

 among the children of men.

 

­PSA 12:2  They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips

 and with a double heart do they speak.

 

­PSA 12:3  The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that

 speaketh proud things:

 

­PSA 12:4  Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own:

 who is lord over us?

 

­PSA 12:5  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 from him that puffeth

 at him.

 

­PSA 12:6  The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of

 earth, purified seven times.

 

­PSA 12:7  Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this

 generation for ever.

 

­PSA 12:8  The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
