Psalms 12:2-8

Psalms 12:2-8

[2] They speak  vanity  every one  with his neighbour:  with flattering  lips  and with a double  do they speak.  [3] The LORD  shall cut off  all flattering  lips,  and the tongue  that speaketh  proud  [4] Who have said,  With our tongue  will we prevail;  our lips  are our own: who is lord  over us? [5] For 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] The words  of the LORD  are pure  words:  as silver  tried  in a furnace  of earth,  purified  seven times.  [7] Thou shalt keep  them, O LORD,  thou shalt preserve  them from this  generation  for ever.  [8] The wicked  walk  on every side,  when the vilest  men  are exalted.
