詩篇 12
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
口滑舌誇者耶和華剪滅之
12 大衛的詩,交於伶長。調用第八。
1 耶和華啊,求你幫助,因虔誠人斷絕了,世人中間的忠信人沒有了。
2 人人向鄰舍說謊,他們說話是嘴唇油滑,心口不一。
3 凡油滑的嘴唇和誇大的舌頭,耶和華必要剪除。
4 他們曾說:「我們必能以舌頭得勝,我們的嘴唇是我們自己的,誰能做我們的主呢?」
5 耶和華說:「因為困苦人的冤屈和貧窮人的嘆息,我現在要起來,把他安置在他所切慕的穩妥之地。」
6 耶和華的言語是純淨的言語,如同銀子在泥爐中煉過七次。
7 耶和華啊,你必保護他們,你必保佑他們永遠脫離這世代的人。
8 下流人在世人中升高,就有惡人到處遊行。
Psalm 12
New International Version
Psalm 12[a]
For the director of music. According to sheminith.[b] A psalm of David.
1 Help, Lord, for no one is faithful anymore;(A)
those who are loyal have vanished from the human race.
2 Everyone lies(B) to their neighbor;
they flatter with their lips
but harbor deception in their hearts.(C)
3 May the Lord silence all flattering lips(D)
and every boastful tongue—(E)
4 those who say,
“By our tongues we will prevail;(F)
our own lips will defend us—who is lord over us?”

Psalm 12
King James Version
12 Help, Lord; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
3 The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
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.
