NET · الأصحاح 12
1 F or the music director; according to the sheminith style; a psalm of David. Deliver, LORD! For the godly have disappeared; people of integrity have vanished.
2 People lie to one another; they flatter and deceive.
3 May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts!
4 They say,“We speak persuasively; we know how to flatter and boast. Who is our master?”
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.”
6 The LORD’s words are absolutely reliable. They are as untainted as silver purified in a furnace on the ground, where it is thoroughly refined.
7 You, LORD, will protect them; you will continually shelter each one from these evil people,
8 for the wicked seem to be everywhere, when people promote evil.
