Psalms 12:1-4

¹For the Chief Musician; set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. Help, Jehovah; for the godly man ceaseth; For the faithful fail from among the children of men.

²They speak falsehood every one with his neighbor: With flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.

³Jehovah will cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that speaketh great things;

⁴Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; Our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
