AMP ▾Psalms ▾12 ▾Psalms 121Save and help and rescue, L ord , for godly people cease to be, For the faithful vanish from among the sons of men.2They speak deceitful and worthless words to one another; With flattering lips and a double heart they speak.3May the L ord cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that speaks great things [in boasting];4Who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail; Our lips are our own; who is lord and master over us?”5“Because of the devastation of the afflicted, because of the groaning of the needy, Now I will arise,” says the L ord ; “I will place him in the safety for which he longs.”6¶The words and promises of the L ord are pure words, Like silver refined in an earthen furnace, purified seven times.7You, O L ord , will preserve and keep them; You will protect him from this [evil] generation forever.8The wicked strut about [in pompous self-importance] on every side, As vileness is exalted and baseness is prized among the sons of men.Psalms 11Psalms 13
