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
World English Bible
For the Chief Musician; upon an eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm of David.
12 Help, Yahweh; for the godly man ceases.
For the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2 Everyone lies to his neighbor.
They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.
3 May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips,
and the tongue that boasts,
4 who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail.
Our lips are our own.
Who is lord over us?”
5 “Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy,
I will now arise,” says Yahweh;
“I will set him in safety from those who malign him.”
6 Yahweh’s words are flawless words,
as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.
7 You will keep them, Yahweh.
You will preserve them from this generation forever.
8 The wicked walk on every side,
when what is vile is exalted among the sons of men.
