Psalms 12:1-5

The Faithful Have Vanished

To the choirmaster: according to The Sheminith. ^{▼▼Probably a musical or liturgical term} A Psalm of David.

1 Save, O Lord, for ^bthe godly one is gone;
for the faithful have vanished from among the children of man.
2 Everyone ^cutters lies to his neighbor;
with ^dflattering lips and ^ea double heart they speak.
3 May the Lord cut off all ^fflattering lips,
the tongue that makes ^ggreat boasts,
4 those who say, “With our tongue we will prevail,
our lips are with us; who is master over us?”
5 “Because ^hthe poor are plundered, because the needy groan,
ⁱI will now arise,” says the Lord;
“I will place him in the ^jsafety for which he longs.”
