Mga Awit 12
Magandang Balita Biblia
Panalangin Upang Tulungan ng Diyos
Katha ni David upang awitin ng Punong Mang-aawit: sa saliw ng Sheminit.[a]
12 O Yahweh, kami sana'y iligtas mo! Pagkat wala na ngayong mabuting tao,
wala nang taong tapat at totoo.
2 Nagsisinungaling silang lahat sa isa't isa,
nagkukunwari at nagdadayaan sila.
3 Patigilin mo, Yahweh, ang madaldal na dila,
at sarhan ang bibig ng hambog magsalita;
4 silang laging nagsasabi,
“Kami'y magsasalita ng nais namin;
at sa gusto nami'y walang makakapigil!”
5 “Darating na ako,” sabi ni Yahweh,
“Upang saklolohan ang mga inaapi.
Sa pinag-uusig na walang magkupkop,
hangad nilang tulong ay ipagkakaloob!”
6 Ang mga pangako ni Yahweh ay maaasahan,
ang katulad nila'y pilak na lantay;
tinunaw sa hurnong hinukay, pitong beses na pinadalisay.
7 Kami, Yahweh, ay lagi mong ingatan,
sa ganitong mga tao ay huwag pabayaan;
8 Ang masasamang tao'y nasa lahat ng lugar,
ang mga gawang liko ay ikinararangal!

Psalm 12
English Standard Version
The Faithful Have Vanished
To the choirmaster: according to The Sheminith.[a] A Psalm of David.
12 Save, O Lord, for (A)the godly one is gone;
for the faithful have vanished from among the children of man.
2 Everyone (B)utters lies to his neighbor;
with (C)flattering lips and (D)a double heart they speak.
3 May the Lord cut off all (E)flattering lips,
the tongue that makes (F)great boasts,
4 those who say, “With our tongue we will prevail,
our lips are with us; who is master over us?”
5 “Because (G)the poor are plundered, because the needy groan,
(H)I will now arise,” says the Lord;
“I will place him in the (I)safety for which he longs.”
6 (J)The words of the Lord are pure words,
like silver refined in a furnace on the ground,
purified seven times.
7 You, O Lord, will keep them;
you will guard us[b] from this generation forever.
8 On every side the wicked prowl,
as vileness is exalted among the children of man.
