(大卫的诗,交与伶长。调用第八。)
1 耶和华啊,求你帮助,因虔诚人断绝了。世人中间的忠信人没有了。
2 人人向邻舍说谎。他们说话,是嘴唇油滑,心口不一。
3 凡油滑的嘴唇,和夸大的舌头,耶和华必要剪除。
4 他们曾说,我们必能以舌头得胜。我们的嘴唇是我们自己的。谁能作我们的主呢?
5 耶和华说,因为困苦人的冤屈,和贫穷人的叹息,我现在要起来,把他安置在他所切慕的稳妥之地。
6 耶和华的言语,是纯净的言语。如同银子在泥炉中炼过七次。
7 耶和华啊,你必保护他们。你必保佑他们永远脱离这世代的人。
8 下流人在世人中升高,就有恶人到处游行。
King James Version
Chapter 12
12:1 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
12:2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
12:3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
12:4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
12:5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
12:7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
12:8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
