NIV ▾Psalms ▾12 ▾Psalms 121Help, Lord , for no one is faithful anymore; those who are loyal have vanished from the human race.2Everyone lies to their neighbor; they flatter with their lips but harbor deception in their hearts.3May the Lord silence all flattering lips and every boastful tongue—4those who say, “By our tongues we will prevail; our own lips will defend us—who is lord over us?”5“Because the poor are plundered and the needy groan, I will now arise,” says the Lord . “I will protect them from those who malign them.”6And the words of the Lord are flawless, like silver purified in a crucible, like gold refined seven times.7You, Lord , will keep the needy safe and will protect us forever from the wicked,8who freely strut about when what is vile is honored by the human race.Psalms 11Psalms 13
