Psalm 12:2

Oppression By The Wicked

¹ To the Chief Musician, on eight. A Psalm of David. Help, Jehovah, for the godly man ceases; for the faithful fail from among the sons of men. ² They speak vanity each one with his neighbor; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak. ³ Jehovah shall cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaks proud things,
