Mga Awit 12
Ang Biblia, 2001
Sa Punong Mang-aawit: ayon sa Sheminith. Awit ni David.
12 Panginoon, sapagkat wala ng sinumang banal, kami ay tulungan mo,
sapagkat ang mga tapat ay naglaho na sa gitna ng mga anak ng mga tao.
2 Bawat isa ay nagsasalita ng kabulaanan sa kanyang kapwa,
sila'y nagsasalitang may mapanuyang mga labi at may pusong mandaraya.
3 Nawa'y putulin ng Panginoon ang lahat ng mapanuyang mga labi,
ang dila na gumagawa ng malaking pagmamalaki,
4 ang mga nagsasabi, “Sa pamamagitan ng aming dila ay magtatagumpay kami,
ang aming mga labi ay nasa amin; sino ang panginoon namin?”
5 “Sapagkat ang dukha ay inagawan, sapagkat dumaraing ang nangangailangan,
titindig na ako ngayon,” sabi ng Panginoon;
“Ilalagay ko siya sa kaligtasang kanyang minimithi.”
6 Ang mga salita ng Panginoon ay mga dalisay na salita,
gaya ng pilak na sinubok sa hurno sa lupa,
na pitong ulit na dinalisay.
7 O Panginoon, sila ay iyong iingatan,
iingatan mo sila mula sa salinlahing ito magpakailanman.
8 Gumagala ang masasama sa bawat dako,
kapag ang kasamaan ay naitataas sa gitna ng mga anak ng mga tao.
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.
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.
