Psalms 12

1 For the music director. To the Sheminith. A psalm of David. Help, Lord, for all the good people have gone! Those who trust in you have disappeared from among the people on earth.

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 Everyone lies to their neighbors. They flatter with nice talk, but they don't mean what they say.

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

3 Stop their flattery, Lord, and silence their boasts—

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

4 these people who say, “We will succeed through what we say; our mouths belong to us. We don't take orders from anyone!”

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

5 “Because of the violence the helpless have suffered, and because of the groans of the poor, I will rise up to defend them,” says the Lord. “I will give them the protection they have been longing for.”

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 What the Lord says is trustworthy, as pure as silver refined seven times in a furnace.

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

7 You, Lord will keep the oppressed safe; you will protect us from these kinds of people forever;

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

8 even though the wicked are all around us, and evil is being promoted everywhere.

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