TEHILLIM 12

1 (For the one directing. According to the Sheminit. Mizmor Dovid)
2 Help, Hashem; for the chasid is no more; for the emunim (faithful ones) vanish from among Bnei Adam.
3 They speak vanity every one with his re'a (neighbor); with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
4 Hashem shall cut off all flattering lips, and the leshon that speaketh gedolot;
5 Who have said, With leshoneinu (our tongue) will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is Adon over us?
6 For the oppression of the aniyim, for the groaning of the needy, now will I arise, saith Hashem; I will set him in safety from him that sneers at him.
7 The words of Hashem are amarot tehorot (pure words); as kesef refined in the furnace on the earth, purified seven times.
8 Thou shalt be shomer over them, Hashem, Thou shalt preserve him from this generation forever. 1
Notes
+ See Ps 12:5[6]
9 The resha'im strut on every side, when the vilest among the Bnei Adam are exalted.
