Psalm 12
For the Chief Musician; set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
For the faithful fail from among the children of men.
With flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.
The tongue that speaketh great things;
Our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
Now will I arise, saith Jehovah;
I will set him in the safety he panteth for.
As silver tried in a furnace on the earth,
Purified seven times.
Thou wilt preserve them from this generation for ever.
When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
