Psalms 12
Unto the end; for the octave, a psalm for David.
Save me, O Lord, for there is now no saint: truths are
decayed from among the children of men.
They have spoken vain things every one to his neighbour:
with deceitful lips, and with a double heart have they
spoken.
May the Lord destroy all deceitful lips, and the tongue
that speaketh proud things.
Who have said: We will magnify our tongue; our lips
are our own; who is Lord over us?
By reason of the misery of the needy, and the groans
of the poor, now will I arise, saith the Lord. I win
set him in safety; I will deal confidently in his regard.
The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried
by the fire, purged from the earth refined seven times.
Thou, O Lord, wilt preserve us.: and keep us from this
generation for ever.
The wicked walk round about: according to thy highness,
thou best multiplied the children of men. |
