PSAL. XII.

To the chief Musician upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. ^{▼▼ upon…: or, upon the eighth.}

1 Help, Yhwh; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. ^{▼▼ Help: or, Save.} 2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. ^{▼▼ a double…: Heb. an heart and an heart.} 3 Yhwh shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things: ^{▼▼ proud: Heb. great.} 4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us? ^{▼▼ are…: Heb. are with us.} 5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith Yhwh; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him. ^{▼▼ puffeth…: or, would ensnare him.} 6 The words of Yhwh are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7 Thou shalt keep them, O Yhwh, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. ^{▼▼ them from: Heb. him, etc.: that is, every one of them, etc.} 8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted. ^{▼▼ men: Heb. of the sons of the men.}
