Psalms 12

victori pro octava canticum David salva Domine quoniam defecit sanctus quoniam inminuti sunt fideles a filiis hominum

Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.

frustra loquuntur unusquisque proximo suo labium subdolum in corde et corde locuti sunt

They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.

disperdat Dominus omnia labia dolosa linguam magniloquam

The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:

qui dixerunt linguam nostram roboremus labia nostra nobiscum sunt quis dominus noster est

Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

propter vastitatem inopum et gemitum pauperum nunc consurgam dicit Dominus ponam in salutari auxilium eorum

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.

eloquia Domini eloquia munda argentum igne probatum separatum a terra colatum septuplum

The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

tu Domine custodies ea servabis nos a generatione hac in aeternum

Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

in circuitu impii ambulabunt cum exaltati fuerint vilissimi filiorum hominum

The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
