Psalms 12

1 For the end, A Psalm of David, upon the eighth. Save me, O Lord; for the godly man has failed; for truth is diminished from amongst the children of men.

To the choirmaster on the sheminith a psalm of David. Save! O Yahweh for he has come to an end [the] faithful for they have vanished faithful [people] from [the] children of humankind.

2 Every one has spoken vanity to his neighbour: their lips are deceitful, they have spoken with a double heart.

Falsehood - they speak each with neighbor his a lip of flatteri with a heart and a heart they speak.

3 Let the Lord destroy all the deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaks great words:

May he cut off Yahweh all [the] lips of flatteri a tongue [which] speaks great [things].

4 who have said, We will magnify our tongue; our lips are our own: who is Lord of us?

Which they say - tongues our we will make strong lips our [are] with us who? [is] master of us.

5 Because of the misery of the poor, and because of the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, says the Lord, I will set [them] in safety; I will speak [to them] thereof openly.

From [the] devastation of afflicted [people] from [the] groaning of needy [people] now I will arise he says Yahweh I will set in [the] safety [one who] he pants for it.

6 The oracles of the Lord are pure oracles; as silver tried in the fire, proved [in] a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

[the] words of Yahweh [are] words pure silver refined in a crucible of the earth purified sevenfold.

7 You, O Lord, shall keep us, and shall preserve us, from this generation, and for ever.

You O Yahweh you will keep them you will guard him - from the generation this for ever.

8 The ungodly walk around: according to your greatness you has greatly exalted the sons of men.

All around wicked [people] they walk about! when is exalted vileness by [the] children of humankind.
