'詩 篇 12 ' not found for the version: Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version.

12 Help, Lord; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.

They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.

The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:

Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

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.

The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.

Salmo 12 (11)

Sálvanos, Señor, que ha desaparecido el fiel

12 Al maestro del coro; en octava. Salmo de David.
Sálvanos, Señor, que ha desaparecido el fiel,
no queda lealtad entre los seres humanos.
Se mienten unos a otros,
conversan con lengua aduladora y corazón doble.
Que el Señor extirpe la palabra aduladora,
la lengua que habla con arrogancia;
que aniquile a quienes dicen:
“Con nuestra lengua nos hacemos fuertes,
en nuestras palabras confiamos,
¿quién podrá dominarnos?”.
Por la opresión de los humildes,
por los gritos de los desvalidos
estoy decidido a actuar —dice el Señor—
y daré la salvación a quien suspira por ella.
Las palabras del Señor son palabras puras,
plata aquilatada en un crisol de barro,
que ha sido refinada siete veces.
Tú, Señor, nos protegerás,
nos librarás de esta generación por siempre.
Los malvados vagan errantes por todas partes,
la vileza humana llega al colmo.

Psalm 12[a]

For the director of music. According to sheminith.[b] A psalm of David.

Help, Lord, for no one is faithful anymore;(A)
    those who are loyal have vanished from the human race.
Everyone lies(B) to their neighbor;
    they flatter with their lips
    but harbor deception in their hearts.(C)

May the Lord silence all flattering lips(D)
    and every boastful tongue—(E)
those who say,
    “By our tongues we will prevail;(F)
    our own lips will defend us—who is lord over us?”

“Because the poor are plundered(G) and the needy groan,(H)
    I will now arise,(I)” says the Lord.
    “I will protect them(J) from those who malign them.”
And the words of the Lord are flawless,(K)
    like silver purified(L) in a crucible,(M)
    like gold[c] refined seven times.

You, Lord, will keep the needy safe(N)
    and will protect us forever from the wicked,(O)
who freely strut(P) about
    when what is vile is honored by the human race.
