Psalms 12

1 To the chief Musician. Upon Sheminith. A Psalm of David. Save, Jehovah, for the godly man is gone; for the faithful have failed from among the children of 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 speak falsehood every one with his neighbour: [with] flattering lip, with a double heart, do they speak.

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 Jehovah will cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh proud things,

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 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail, our lips are our own: who [is] lord over us?

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 Because of the oppression of the afflicted, because of the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith Jehovah, I will set [him] in safety, at whom they puff.

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 Jehovah are pure words, silver tried in the furnace of earth, purified seven times.

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 Thou, Jehovah, wilt keep them, thou wilt preserve them from this generation for ever.

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 walk about on every side, when vileness is exalted among the children of 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
