Psalms - Chapter 12 | Good News Translation

  • 1. Help us, LORD! There is not a good person left; honest people can no longer be found.
  • 2. All of them lie to one another; they deceive each other with flattery.
  • 3. Silence those flattering tongues, O LORD! Close those boastful mouths that say,
  • 4. "With our words we get what we want. We will say what we wish, and no one can stop us."
  • 5. "But now I will come," says the LORD, "because the needy are oppressed and the persecuted groan in pain. I will give them the security they long for."
  • 6. The promises of the LORD can be trusted; they are as genuine as silver refined seven times in the furnace.
  • 7. The wicked are everywhere, and everyone praises what is evil. Keep us always safe, O LORD, and preserve us from such people.
  • 8. {cf15I (SEE 12:7)}
