- Kapitel 12 -

The pious are no more

1
Help, Lord ; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.(a) (b)
2
They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.(c)
3
The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:(d)
4
Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?(e)
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.(f)
6
The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7
Thou shalt keep them, O Lord , thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.(g)
8
The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.(h)
