Psalms 12

1 For the Leader; on the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among 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 They speak falsehood every one with his neighbour; with flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.

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

3 May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh proud things!

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

4 Who have said: 'Our tongue will we make mighty; our lips are with us: who is lord over us?'

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

5 'For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise', saith the LORD; 'I will set him in safety at whom they puff.'

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 words of the LORD are pure words, as silver tried in a crucible on the earth, refined seven times.

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

7 Thou wilt keep them, O LORD; Thou wilt preserve us from this generation for ever.

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

8 The wicked walk on every side, when vileness is exalted among the sons of men.

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