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.

求助的祈禱
12 耶和華啊，求你幫助，因虔誠人斷絕了，
世人中間忠信的人消失了。
2 人人向鄰舍說謊；
他們說話嘴唇油滑，心口不一。
3 願耶和華剪除一切油滑的嘴唇，
誇大的舌頭。
4 他們說：「我們必能以舌頭取勝，
我們的嘴唇是自己的，
誰能作我們的主呢？」
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，
如同銀子在泥做的爐中煉過七次。
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 卑鄙的人在世人中高升時，
就有惡人四處橫行。
