Psalms 12
1 Yahweh, help us! [It seems that] people who are loyal to you have all vanished.
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 tells lies to other people; they deceive others by (flattering them/saying good things about them that they know are not true).
Falsehood - they speak each with neighbor his a lip of flatteri with a heart and a heart they speak.
3 Yahweh, we wish that you would cut off their tongues so that they cannot continue to boast.
May he cut off Yahweh all [the] lips of flatteri a tongue [which] speaks great [things].
4 They say, “By telling lies we will get what we want; we control what we say [MTY], so no one can tell us what we should not do!”
Which they say - tongues our we will make strong lips our [are] with us who? [is] master of us.
5 But Yahweh replies, “I have seen the violent things that they have done to helpless people; and I have heard those people groaning, so I will arise and rescue the people who are wanting me to help them.”
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 Yahweh, you always do what you have promised to do; what you have promised is [as precious and pure as] silver that has been heated seven times in a furnace [to get rid of all the] impure material.
[the] words of Yahweh [are] words pure silver refined in a crucible of the earth purified sevenfold.
7 Wicked people strut around [proudly], and people praise them for doing vile/wicked deeds, but Yahweh, [we know that] you will protect/rescue us from those wicked people.
You O Yahweh you will keep them you will guard him - from the generation this for ever.
All around wicked [people] they walk about! when is exalted vileness by [the] children of humankind.
