Psalm 12
Modern English Version
Psalm 12
For the Music Director. According to The Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
1 Help, Lord, for the godly man comes to an end,
for the faithful disappear from sons of men.
2 They speak empty words, each with his own neighbor;
they speak with flattering lips and a double heart.
3 The Lord will cut off all flattering lips,
and the tongue that speaks proud things,
4 who have said, “With our tongue will we prevail;
our lips are in our control, who is master over us?”
5 “Because the poor are plundered,
because the needy sigh,
now I will arise,” says the Lord;
“I will place him in the safety for which he yearns.”
6 The words of the Lord are pure words;
they are silver tried in an earthen furnace
refined seven times.
7 You will keep them, O Lord;
You will preserve them from this generation.
8 The wicked walk on every side,
when the worthless of mankind are exalted.

Salmo 12
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Panalangin para Tulungan ng Dios
12 Panginoon, tulungan nʼyo po kami,
dahil wala nang makadios,
at wala na ring may paninindigan.
2 Nagsisinungaling sila sa kanilang kapwa.
Nambobola sila para makapandaya ng iba.
3 Panginoon, patigilin nʼyo na sana ang mga mayayabang at mambobola.
4 Sinasabi nila,
“Sa pamamagitan ng aming pananalita ay magtatagumpay kami.
Sasabihin namin ang gusto naming sabihin,
at walang sinumang makakapigil sa amin.”
5 Sinabi ng Panginoon,
“Kikilos ako! Nakikita ko ang kaapihan ng mga dukha,
at naririnig ko ang iyakan ng mga naghihirap.
Kayaʼt ibibigay ko sa kanila ang pinapangarap nilang kaligtasan.”
6 Ang pangako ng Panginoon ay purong katotohanan,
gaya ng purong pilak na pitong ulit na nasubukan sa nagliliyab na pugon.
7 Panginoon, nalalaman namin na kami ay inyong iingatan,
at ilalayo sa masamang henerasyong ito magpakailanman.
8 Pinalibutan nila kami,
at pinupuri pa ng lahat ang kanilang kasuklam-suklam na gawain.

1 Help, Lord, for no one is faithful anymore;(A)

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?”

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.

When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
