Psalm 12 Contemporary English Version (CEV)๐
(A psalm by David for the music leader.)
A Prayer for Help๐
12:1 Please help me, Lord!
All who were faithful
and all who were loyal
have disappeared.
2 Everyone tells lies,
and no one is sincere.
3 Wonโt you chop off
all flattering tongues
that brag so loudly?
4 They say to themselves,
โWe are great speakers.
No one else has a chance.โ
5 But you, Lord, tell them,
โI will do something!
The poor are mistreated
and helpless people moan.
Iโll rescue all who suffer.โ
6 Our Lord, you are true
to your promises,
and your word is like silver
heated seven times
in a fiery furnace.
7 You will protect us
and always keep us safe
from those people.
8 But all who are wicked
will keep on strutting,
while everyone praises
their shameless deeds.๐
