Psalms 12

1 For the choirmaster. According to Sheminith. A Psalm of David. Help, O LORD, for the godly are no more; the faithful have vanished from among men.

ああヱホバよ助けたまへ そは神をうやまふ人はたえ誠あるものは人の子のなかより消失るなり

2 They lie to one another; they speak with flattering lips and a double heart.

人はみな虚偽をもてその隣とあひかたり滑なるくちびると貳心とをもてものいふ

3 May the LORD cut off all flattering lips and every boastful tongue.

ヱホバはすべての滑なるくちびると大なる言をかたる舌とをほろぼし給はん

4 They say, “With our tongues we will prevail. We own our lips—who can be our master?”

かれらはいふ われら舌をもて勝をえん この口唇はわがものなり誰かわれらに主たらんやと

5 “For the cause of the oppressed and for the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says the LORD. “I will bring safety to him who yearns.”

ヱホバのたまはく 苦しむもの掠められ貧しきもの歎くがゆゑに我いま起てこれをその慕ひもとむる平安におかん

6 The words of the LORD are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace, like gold purified sevenfold.

ヱホバの言はきよきことばなり 地にまうけたる爐にてねり七次きよめたる白銀のごとし

7 You, O LORD, will keep us; You will forever guard us from this generation.

ヱホバよ汝はかれらをまもり之をたすけてとこしへにこの類より免れしめたまはん

8 The wicked wander freely, and vileness is exalted among men.

人の子のなかに穢しきことの崇めらるるときは惡者ここやかしこにあるくなり
