Psalm 12
Prayer against Evil Tongues
Help Lord for no one loyal remains
The faithful have vanished from the human race
Those who tell lies to one another speak with deceiving lips and a double heart.
May the Lord cut off all deceiving lips and every boastful tongue
Those who say, "By our tongues we prevail; When our lips speak, whom can lord it over us?"
Because they rob the weak and the needy groan,
I will now arise says the Lord
I will grant safety to whoever longs for it.
The promises of the Lord are sure,
silver refined in a crucible
silver purified seven times
Lord, protect us always
preserve us from this generation
On every side the wicked strut
The shameless are extolled by all.
