Psalms ◦ Chapter 12
1Help us Lord, lest those who are like you in character disappear;
those who trust you are vanishing from the earth.2People tell each other fictional tales about life,
deluding themselves with false-security.3O Lord, cut through their lying words;
expose as false the boastful4who say, "What we say determines what is right.
We can say whatever we want; who will stop us?"5The Lord says, "I will act now,
because the weak are exploited
and those who need help call out.
I will provide the remedy they so desperately desire."6The promised remedy of the Lord is pure —
purified like silver in an earthen kiln,
purified to perfection. 7O Lord, keep our minds and hearts pristine and safe;
preserve us from the corruption of lies and selfishness,8because the selfish are everywhere about us,
and lies are what people love.
