It's Dangerous Out There

"The wicked strut about on every side
When vileness is exalted among the sons of men." Psalms 12:8

"The world is a dangerous place to live; 
not because of the people who are evil, 
but because of the people who don't do anything about it."

--Albert Einstein

Psalms 12
Help, Lord, for the godly man ceases to be,
For the faithful disappear from among the 
sons of men.

They speak falsehood to one another;
With flattering lips and with a double heart 
they speak.

May the Lord cut off all flattering lips,
The tongue that speaks great things;

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

“Because of the devastation of the afflicted, 
because of the groaning of the needy,
Now I will arise,” says the Lord; 
“I will set him in the safety for which 
he longs.”

The words of the Lord are pure words;
As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, 
refined seven times.

You, O Lord, will keep them;
You will preserve him from this 
generation forever.

The wicked strut about on every side
When vileness is exalted among the 
sons of men.
