The LORD has Spoken!

"The wicked strut about on every side when vileness is exulted among the sons of men."

*

Psalm 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."
