1Help, Lord; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
King James Version
Psalms 12
Read this chapter verse by verse in the KJV Bible.
2They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
3The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
4Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
5For 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.
