Psalms 12

1 To him that excelleth upon the eight tune. A Psalme of Dauid. Helpe Lord, for there is not a godly man left: for the faithfull are fayled from among the children of men.

[Psalm lal David] O LEUM GOD, kasrekut! Wangin sie mwet wo lula, Ac mwet suwoswos tia ku in sifilpa koneyukyak.

2 They speake deceitfully euery one with his neighbour, flattering with their lips, and speake with a double heart.

Mwet nukewa kikiap nu sin sie sin sie; Elos kiapu sie sin sie ke kaskas in aklukuk.

3 The Lord cut off all flattering lippes, and the tongue that speaketh proude things:

O LEUM GOD, kutongya loh ma kaskas in aklukuk inge, Ac kaliya oalin mwet filang su fahk mu,

4 Which haue saide, With our tongue will we preuaile: our lippes are our owne: who is Lord ouer vs?

“Ke kas na lasr kut eis ma kut lungse. Kut ac fahk na ma kut lungse fahk, Ac wangin mwet ku in kutongkuti.”

5 Now for the oppression of the needy, and for the sighes of the poore, I will vp, sayeth the Lord, and will set at libertie him, whom the wicked hath snared.

LEUM GOD El fahk, “Inge nga ac fah tuyak, Ke sripen mwet enenu elos akkeokyeyuk, Ac mwet kalyeiyuk elos keoklana. Nga ac sang molela nu selos oana elos kena kac.”

6 The wordes of the Lord are pure wordes, as the siluer, tried in a fornace of earth, fined seuen folde.

Wulela lun LEUM GOD nasnas ac fal in lulalfongiyuk; Wulela lal nasnas oana silver Ma liklikiyuki pacl itkosr ke funyu in aknasnas.

7 Thou wilt keepe them, O Lord: thou wilt preserue him from this generation for euer.

LEUM GOD, kom fah karinginkutme; Kom fah liyekutyang liki kain mwet inge.

8 The wicked walke on euery side: when they are exalted, it is a shame for the sonnes of men.

Mwet koluk uh oasr yen nukewa Ac mwet nukewa kaksakinna ma koluk uh.
