12

1   Help, Lord, for loyalty is no more;
  good faith between man and man is over.
2   One man lies to another:
they talk with smooth lip and double heart.
   3   May the Lord make an end of such smooth lips
  and the tongue that talks so boastfully!
   4   They said, ‘Our tongue can win the day.
Words are our ally; who can master us?’
5   ‘For the ruin of the poor, for the groans of the needy,
now I will arise,’ says the Lord,
  ‘I will place him in the safety for which he longs.’

   6   The words of the Lord are pure words:
  silver refined in a crucible,
  gold ^note seven times purified.
   7   Do thou, Lord, protect us ^note
  and guard us from a profligate and evil generation. ^note
   8   The wicked flaunt themselves on every side,
    while profligacy stands high among mankind.
