Psalm 12:1-Psalm 13:1 - Oppression By The Wicked
1 ([Psalm of David]) Save me O Jehovah for no godly person is left. Faithful people have vanished from among the sons of men. 2 People speak lies to one another. They speak with flattering lips and with double-heart. (Double Heart: They say one thing but mean another.) 3 Jehovah will destroy every flattering lip and every bragging tongue 4 They say: We will overcome with our tongues. With lips such as ours, who can be our master?
5 Because oppressed people are robbed and needy people groan, I will now arise, says Jehovah. I will provide safety for those who long for it.
6 The words of Jehovah are pure, like silver refined in a furnace on the earth and purified seven times.
7 O Jehovah, you will protect them. You will keep each one safe from those people forever. 8 The wicked walk about when immorality increases among the sons of men.
1 ([Psalm of David]) How long, O Jehovah? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
