诗篇 第 12 篇
1大卫的诗，交与伶长。调用第八。 耶和华啊，求你帮助，因虔诚人断绝了； 世人中间的忠信人没有了。
1To the chief Musician upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2人人向邻舍说谎； 他们说话，是嘴唇油滑，心口不一。
2They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
3凡油滑的嘴唇和夸大的舌头， 耶和华必要剪除。
3The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
4他们曾说：我们必能以舌头得胜； 我们的嘴唇是我们自己的， 谁能作我们的主呢？
4Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
5耶和华说：因为困苦人的冤屈 和贫穷人的叹息， 我现在要起来， 把他安置在他所切慕的稳妥之地。
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.
6耶和华的言语是纯净的言语， 如同银子在泥炉中炼过七次。
6The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
