Salmos 12
La Biblia de las Américas

Dios, protector del justo

Para el director del coro; sobre una lira de ocho cuerdas[a]. Salmo de David.

12 Salva, Señor, porque el piadoso deja de ser(A);
porque los fieles desaparecen de entre los hijos de los hombres.
2 Falsedad[b] habla cada uno a su prójimo(B);
hablan con labios lisonjeros[c](C) y con doblez de corazón.
3 Corte el Señor todo labio lisonjero,
la lengua que habla con exageración(D);
4 a los que han dicho: Con nuestra lengua prevaleceremos,
nuestros labios nos defienden[d]; ¿quién es señor sobre nosotros(E)?
5 Por la desolación del afligido(F), por los gemidos del menesteroso,
me levantaré ahora, dice el Señor(G); lo pondré en la seguridad que anhela(H).

6 Las palabras del Señor son palabras puras(I),
plata probada(J) en un crisol en la tierra, siete veces refinada.
7 Tú, Señor, los guardarás;
de esta generación los[e] preservarás para siempre(K).
8 En torno se pasean los impíos(L),
cuando la vileza[f] es exaltada(M) entre los hijos de los hombres.

Psalm 12
New International Version

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?”

5 “Because the poor are plundered(G) and the needy groan,(H)
    I will now arise,(I)” says the Lord.
    “I will protect them(J) from those who malign them.”
6 And the words of the Lord are flawless,(K)
    like silver purified(L) in a crucible,(M)
    like gold[c] refined seven times.

7 You, Lord, will keep the needy safe(N)
    and will protect us forever from the wicked,(O)
8 who freely strut(P) about
    when what is vile is honored by the human race.

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
New King James Version

Man’s Treachery and God’s Constancy

To the Chief Musician. (A)On [a]an eight-stringed harp. A Psalm of David.

12 Help,[b] Lord, for the godly man (B)ceases!
For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.
2 (C)They speak idly everyone with his neighbor;
With flattering lips and [c]a double heart they speak.

3 May the Lord [d]cut off all flattering lips,
And the tongue that speaks [e]proud things,
4 Who have said,
“With our tongue we will 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 I will arise,” says the Lord;
“I will set him in the safety for which he yearns.”

6 The words of the Lord are (D)pure words,
Like silver tried in a furnace of earth,
Purified seven times.
7 You shall keep them, O Lord,
You shall preserve them from this generation forever.

8 The wicked prowl on every side,
When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
