Psalm 12 :: New English Translation (NET)

Psa 12:1Deliver, LORD! For the godly have disappeared; people of integrity have vanished.
Psa 12:2People lie to one another; they flatter and deceive.
Psa 12:3May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts!
Psa 12:4They say, "We speak persuasively; we know how to flatter and boast. Who is our master?"
Psa 12:5"Because of the violence done to the oppressed, because of the painful cries of the needy, I will spring into action," says the LORD. "I will provide the safety they so desperately desire."
Psa 12:6The LORD's words are absolutely reliable. They are as untainted as silver purified in a furnace on the ground, where it is thoroughly refined.
Psa 12:7You, LORD, will protect them; you will continually shelter each one from these evil people,
Psa 12:8for the wicked seem to be everywhere, when people promote evil.
