Psalm 12[a]
For the director of music. According to sheminith. A psalm of David.


1

Help, Lord, for no one is faithful anymore;

those who are loyal have vanished from the human race.

2

Everyone lies to their neighbor;

they flatter with their lips

but harbor deception in their hearts.


3

May the Lord silence all flattering lips

and every boastful tongue—

4

those who say,

“By our tongues we will prevail;

our own lips will defend us—who is lord over us?”


5

“Because the poor are plundered and the needy groan,

I will now arise,” says the Lord.

“I will protect them from those who malign them.”

6

And the words of the Lord are flawless,

like silver purified in a crucible,

like gold[c] refined seven times.


7

You, Lord, will keep the needy safe

and will protect us forever from the wicked,

8

who freely strut about

when what is vile is honored by the human race.
