Psalm 12
Luther Bibel 1545
12 (Ein Psalm Davids, vorzusingen, auf acht Saiten.) Hilf, HERR! die Heiligen haben abgenommen, und der Gläubigen ist wenig unter den Menschenkindern.
2 Einer redet mit dem andern unnütze Dinge; sie heucheln und lehren aus uneinigem Herzen.
3 Der HERR wolle ausrotten alle Heuchelei und die Zunge, die da stolz redet,
4 die da sagen: Unsere Zunge soll Oberhand haben, uns gebührt zu reden; wer ist unser HERR?
5 Weil denn die Elenden verstört werden und die Armen seufzen, will ich auf, spricht der HERR; ich will Hilfe schaffen dem, der sich darnach sehnt.
6 Die Rede des HERRN ist lauter wie durchläutert Silber im irdenen Tiegel, bewähret siebenmal.
7 Du, HERR, wollest sie bewahren und uns behüten vor diesem Geschlecht ewiglich!
8 Denn es wird allenthalben voll Gottloser, wo solche nichtswürdige Leute unter den Menschen herrschen.

Psalm 12
To the Chief Musician; set [possibly] an octave below. A Psalm of David.
1 Help, Lord! For principled and godly people are here no more; faithfulness and the faithful vanish from among the sons of men.
2 To his neighbor each one speaks words without use or worth or truth; with flattering lips and double heart [deceitfully] they speak.
3 May the Lord cut off all flattering lips and the tongues that speak proud boasting,
4 Those who say, With our tongues we prevail; our lips are our own [to command at our will]—who is lord and master over us?
5 Now will I arise, says the Lord, because the poor are oppressed, because of the groans of the needy; I will set him in safety and in the salvation for which he pants.
6 The words and promises of the Lord are pure words, like silver refined in an earthen furnace, purified seven times over.
7 You will keep them and preserve them, O Lord; You will guard and keep us from this [evil] generation forever.
8 The wicked walk or prowl about on every side, as vileness is exalted [and baseness is rated high] among the sons of men.

Klagan över ondskan
12 För körledaren, enligt sheminit[a]. En psalm av David.
2 Herre, rädda mig! De fromma är borta,
de trofasta människorna finns inte kvar.
3 Alla ljuger för varandra,
de talar med hala tungor ur delade hjärtan.
4 Må Herren göra slut på de hala tungorna,
tysta deras stora ord.
5 De säger: ”Vår tunga upphöjer oss,
våra läppar ger oss makt.
Vem kan stå som herre över oss?”
6 ”De svaga förtrycks, de fattiga klagar,
och därför vill jag nu gripa in”, säger Herren,
”jag vill ge frälsning åt den som blir föraktad[b].”
7 Herrens ord är rena,
som silver som renats i smältugnen sju gånger.
8 Herre, du som bevarar dem,
beskydda oss alltid för detta släkte!
9 Överallt där uselheten prisas
stryker de gudlösa omkring.[c]

Psalm 12[a]
For the director of music. According to sheminith.[b] A psalm of David.
1 Help, Lord, for no one is faithful anymore;(A)
those who are loyal have vanished from the human race.
2 Everyone lies(B) to their neighbor;
they flatter with their lips
but harbor deception in their hearts.(C)
3 May the Lord silence all flattering lips(D)
and every boastful tongue—(E)
4 those who say,
“By our tongues we will prevail;(F)
our own lips will defend us—who is lord over us?”
