Psalms Chapter 12 תְּהִלִּים

א  לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל-הַשְּׁמִינִית,    מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד. 1 For the Leader; on the Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
ב  הוֹשִׁיעָה יְהוָה, כִּי-גָמַר חָסִיד:    כִּי-פַסּוּ אֱמוּנִים, מִבְּנֵי אָדָם. 2 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
ג  שָׁוְא, יְדַבְּרוּ--אִישׁ אֶת-רֵעֵהוּ:    שְׂפַת חֲלָקוֹת--בְּלֵב וָלֵב יְדַבֵּרוּ. 3 They speak falsehood every one with his neighbour; with flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.
ד  יַכְרֵת יְהוָה, כָּל-שִׂפְתֵי חֲלָקוֹת--    לָשׁוֹן, מְדַבֶּרֶת גְּדֹלוֹת. 4 May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh proud things!
ה  אֲשֶׁר אָמְרוּ, לִלְשֹׁנֵנוּ נַגְבִּיר--שְׂפָתֵינוּ אִתָּנוּ:    מִי אָדוֹן לָנוּ. 5 Who have said: 'Our tongue will we make mighty; our lips are with us: who is lord over us?'
ו  מִשֹּׁד עֲנִיִּים,    מֵאֶנְקַת אֶבְיוֹנִים:
עַתָּה אָקוּם, יֹאמַר יְהוָה;    אָשִׁית בְּיֵשַׁע, יָפִיחַ לוֹ.
6 'For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, {N}
now will I arise', saith the LORD; 'I will set him in safety at whom they puff.'
ז  אִמְרוֹת יְהוָה,    אֲמָרוֹת טְהֹרוֹת:
כֶּסֶף צָרוּף, בַּעֲלִיל לָאָרֶץ;    מְזֻקָּק, שִׁבְעָתָיִם.
7 The words of the LORD are pure words, {N}
as silver tried in a crucible on the earth, refined seven times.
ח  אַתָּה-יְהוָה תִּשְׁמְרֵם;    תִּצְּרֶנּוּ, מִן-הַדּוֹר זוּ לְעוֹלָם. 8 Thou wilt keep them, O LORD; Thou wilt preserve us from this generation for ever.
ט  סָבִיב, רְשָׁעִים יִתְהַלָּכוּן;    כְּרֻם זֻלּוּת, לִבְנֵי אָדָם. 9 The wicked walk on every side, when vileness is exalted among the sons of men. {P}
