Faithful in the Word

Psalms 12:1-8  (1) To the chief Musician upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. 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.
