Psaumes 12
Louis Segond
12 (12:1) Au chef des chantres. Sur la harpe à huit cordes. Psaume de David. (12:2) Sauve, Éternel! car les hommes pieux s'en vont, Les fidèles disparaissent parmi les fils de l'homme.
2 (12:3) On se dit des faussetés les uns aux autres, On a sur les lèvres des choses flatteuses, On parle avec un coeur double.
3 (12:4) Que l'Éternel extermine toutes les lèvres flatteuses, La langue qui discourt avec arrogance,
4 (12:5) Ceux qui disent: Nous sommes puissants par notre langue, Nous avons nos lèvres avec nous; Qui serait notre maître? -
5 (12:6) Parce que les malheureux sont opprimés et que les pauvres gémissent, Maintenant, dit l'Éternel, je me lève, J'apporte le salut à ceux contre qui l'on souffle.
6 (12:7) Les paroles de l'Éternel sont des paroles pures, Un argent éprouvé sur terre au creuset, Et sept fois épuré.
7 (12:8) Toi, Éternel! tu les garderas, Tu les préserveras de cette race à jamais.
8 (12:9) Les méchants se promènent de toutes parts, Quand la bassesse règne parmi les fils de l'homme.
Salmos 12
Nueva Versión Internacional
Al director musical. Sobre la octava.[a] Salmo de David.
12 Sálvanos, Señor, que ya no hay gente fiel;
entre los seres humanos ya no hay en quien confiar.
2 No hacen sino mentirse unos a otros;
sus labios son aduladores e hipócritas.
3 Corte el Señor todo labio lisonjero
y toda lengua jactanciosa
4 que dice: «Venceremos con la lengua;
en nuestros labios confiamos.
¿Quién puede dominarnos a nosotros?».
5 «Por la aflicción de los oprimidos
y por el gemido del pobre,
voy a levantarme», dice el Señor,
«y los pondré a salvo de quienes los oprimen».
6 Las palabras del Señor son puras,
son como la plata refinada,
siete veces purificada en el crisol.
7 Tú, Señor, los protegerás;
tú siempre los defenderás de esta gente.
8 Los malvados merodean por todas partes,
cuando la vileza es exaltada entre los seres humanos.

Psalm 12
New International Version - UK
Psalm 12[a]
For the director of music. According to sheminith.[b] A psalm of David.
1 Help, Lord, for no one is faithful any more;
those who are loyal have vanished from the human race.
2 Everyone lies to their neighbour;
they flatter with their lips
but harbour deception in their hearts.
3 May the Lord silence all flattering lips
and every boastful tongue –
4 those who say,
‘By our tongues we will prevail;
our own lips will defend us – who is lord over us?’
5 ‘Because the poor are plundered and the needy groan,
I will now arise,’ says the Lord.
‘I will protect them from those who malign them.’
6 And the words of the Lord are flawless,
like silver purified in a crucible,
like gold[c] refined seven times.
7 You, Lord, will keep the needy safe
and will protect us for ever from the wicked,
8 who freely strut about
when what is vile is honoured by the human race.
