Psalms 12

1 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.

大衛的詩，交與伶長。調用第八。 耶和華啊，求你幫助，因虔誠人斷絕了； 世人中間的忠信人沒有了。

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

人人向鄰舍說謊； 他們說話，是嘴唇油滑，心口不一。

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

凡油滑的嘴唇和誇大的舌頭， 耶和華必要剪除。

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

他們曾說：我們必能以舌頭得勝； 我們的嘴唇是我們自己的， 誰能作我們的主呢？

5 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.

耶和華說：因為困苦人的冤屈 和貧窮人的歎息， 我現在要起來， 把他安置在他所切慕的穩妥之地。

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

耶和華的言語是純淨的言語， 如同銀子在泥爐中煉過七次。

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

耶和華啊，你必保護他們； 你必保佑他們永遠脫離這世代的人。

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

下流人在世人中升高， 就有惡人到處遊行。
