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.
Psalm 12
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
Oppression by the Wicked
For the choir director: according to Sheminith.(A) A psalm of David.
12 Help, Lord, for no faithful one remains;
the loyal have disappeared from the human race.[a](B)
2 They lie to one another;
they speak with flattering lips and deceptive hearts.(C)
3 May the Lord cut off all flattering lips
and the tongue that speaks boastfully.(D)
4 They say, ‘Through our tongues we have power;
our lips are our own – who can be our master? ’(E)
5 ‘Because of the devastation of the needy
and the groaning of the poor,
I will now rise up,’ says the Lord.
‘I will provide safety for the one who longs for it.’(F)
6 The words of the Lord are pure words,
like silver refined in an earthen furnace,
purified seven times.(G)
7 You, Lord, will guard us;[b]
you will protect us[c] from this generation for ever.(H)
8 The wicked prowl[d] all around,
and what is worthless is exalted by the human race.(I)
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.
