舊約 -- 詩篇(Psalms) -- 第12章
12:1 耶和華阿,求你幫助,因虔誠人斷絕了。世人中間的忠信人沒有了。
Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
12:2 人人向鄰舍說謊。他們說話,是嘴唇油滑,心口不一。
They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
12:3 凡油滑的嘴唇,和夸大的舌頭,耶和華必要剪除。
The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
12:4 他們曾說,我們必能以舌頭得勝。我們的嘴唇是我們自己的。誰能作我們主呢。
Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
12:5 耶和華說,因為困苦人的冤屈,和貧窮人的嘆息,我現在要起來,把他安置在他所切慕的穩妥之地。
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.
12:6 耶和華的言語,是純凈的言語。如同銀子在泥爐中煉過七次。
The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
12:7 耶和華阿,你必保護他們。你必保佑他們永遠脫離這世代的人。
Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
12:8 下流人在世人中升高,就有惡人到處游行。
The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
