Lyrics

1 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.1

Inscription and Authorship

The inscription to this Psalms is: To the chief Musician upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. See on the title of Psa. vi. The Arabic has "Concerning the end (of the world which shall happen) on the eighth day. A prophecy relative to the Advent of the Messiah." Some think that this Psalm was made when Doeg and the Ziphites betrayed David to Saul, see 1 Samuel xxii. and 23.; but it is most likely that was written during the Babylonish captivity.2

Division of Psalms 12
 

In the first and second verses David spreads his plaint before the Lord concerning the treachery of his age;
verses 3 and 4 denounce judgments upon proud traitors;
in verse 5, Jehovah himself thunders out his wrath against oppressors;
hearing this, the Chief Musician sings sweetly of the faithfulness of God and his care of his people, in verses 6 and 7;
but closes on the old key of lament in verse 8, as he observes the abounding wickedness of his times.3
