诗篇 12
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
口滑舌夸者耶和华剪灭之
12 大卫的诗，交于伶长。调用第八。
1 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。
2 人人向邻舍说谎，他们说话是嘴唇油滑，心口不一。
3 凡油滑的嘴唇和夸大的舌头，耶和华必要剪除。
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，谁能做我们的主呢？”
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。”
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。
7 耶和华啊，你必保护他们，你必保佑他们永远脱离这世代的人。
8 下流人在世人中升高，就有恶人到处游行。
Psalm 12
Living Bible
12 Lord! Help! Godly men are fast disappearing. Where in all the world can dependable men be found? 2 Everyone deceives and flatters and lies. There is no sincerity left.
3-4 But the Lord will not deal gently with people who act like that; he will destroy those proud liars who say, “We will lie to our heart’s content. Our lips are our own; who can stop us?”
5 The Lord replies, “I will arise and defend the oppressed, the poor, the needy. I will rescue them as they have longed for me to do.” 6 The Lord’s promise is sure. He speaks no careless word; all he says is purest truth, like silver seven times refined. 7 O Lord, we know that you will forever preserve your own from the reach of evil men, 8 although they prowl on every side and vileness is praised throughout the land.
Psalm 12
New King James Version
Man’s Treachery and God’s Constancy
To the Chief Musician. (A)On [a]an eight-stringed harp. A Psalm of David.
12 Help,[b] Lord, for the godly man (B)ceases!
For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.
2 (C)They speak idly everyone with his neighbor;
With flattering lips and [c]a double heart they speak.
3 May the Lord [d]cut off all flattering lips,
And the tongue that speaks [e]proud things,
4 Who have said,
“With our tongue we will 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 I will arise,” says the Lord;
“I will set him in the safety for which he yearns.”
6 The words of the Lord are (D)pure words,
Like silver tried in a furnace of earth,
Purified seven times.
7 You shall keep them, O Lord,
You shall preserve them from this generation forever.
8 The wicked prowl on every side,
When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
