Praying Psalm 12

Save, O Lord, for the godly ones seem to be gone and the faithful appear to have vanished from among the children of man. It seems that everyone utters lies to his neighbor; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.

O Lord, cut off all flattering lips and the tongue that makes great boasts, those who say, “With our tongue we will prevail, our lips are with us; who is master over us?”

These words from your word give me so much strength Lord:

“Because the poor are plundered, because the needy groan, I will now arise,” says the Lord; “I will place him in the safety for which he longs.”

Your words Lord are pure words, like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times.

You, O Lord, will keep us.. you will guard the poor; you will guard us from this generation forever.. even though wickedness seems to prowl all around us and vileness is exalted among the children of man.

Amen
