Psalm 12
Legacy Standard Bible
Yahweh Will Set the Needy in Safety
For the choir director. According to the [a]Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
12 Save, O Yahweh, for (A)the holy man ceases to be,
For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.
2 They (B)speak worthlessness to one another;
With a (C)flattering lip and with a double heart they speak.
3 May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips,
The tongue that (D)speaks great things;
4 Who (E)have said, “With our tongue we will prevail;
Our lips are [b]our own; who is lord over us?”
5 “Because of the (F)devastation of the afflicted, because of the groaning of the needy,
Now (G)I will arise,” says Yahweh; “I will (H)set him in the [c]safety for which he [d]longs.”
6 The (I)words of Yahweh are pure words;
As silver (J)tried in a furnace on the ground, refined seven times.
7 You, O Yahweh, will keep them;
You will (K)guard him from this generation forever.
8 The (L)wicked strut about on every side
When [e](M)vileness is exalted among the sons of men.

Dios, protector del justo
Para el director del coro; sobre una lira de ocho cuerdas[a]. Salmo de David.
12 Salva, Señor, porque el piadoso deja de ser(A);
porque los fieles desaparecen de entre los hijos de los hombres.
2 Falsedad[b] habla cada uno a su prójimo(B);
hablan con labios lisonjeros[c](C) y con doblez de corazón.
3 Corte el Señor todo labio lisonjero,
la lengua que habla con exageración(D);
4 a los que han dicho: Con nuestra lengua prevaleceremos,
nuestros labios nos defienden[d]; ¿quién es señor sobre nosotros(E)?
5 Por la desolación del afligido(F), por los gemidos del menesteroso,
me levantaré ahora, dice el Señor(G); lo pondré en la seguridad que anhela(H).
6 Las palabras del Señor son palabras puras(I),
plata probada(J) en un crisol en la tierra, siete veces refinada.
7 Tú, Señor, los guardarás;
de esta generación los[e] preservarás para siempre(K).
8 En torno se pasean los impíos(L),
cuando la vileza[f] es exaltada(M) entre los hijos de los hombres.
