Psalms 12
For the choirmaster. According to Sheminith.Sheminith is probably a musical term; here and in 1 Chronicles 15:21 and Psalm 6:1. A Psalm of David.
1Help, O LORD, for the godly are no more;the faithful have vanished from among men.2They lie to one another;they speak with flattering lips and a double heart.3May the LORD cut off all flattering lipsand every boastful tongue.4They say, “With our tongues we will prevail.We own our lips—who can be our master?”
5“For the cause of the oppressedand for the groaning of the needy,I will now arise,” says the LORD.“I will bring safety to him who yearns.”
