Psalm 12
1 Help, O LORD, for the godly are fast disappearing!
  The faithful have vanished from the earth!
2 Neighbors lie to each other,
  speaking with flattering lips and deceitful hearts.
3 May the LORD cut off their flattering lips
  and silence their boastful tongues.
4 They say, "We will lie to our hearts' content.
  Our lips are our own—who can stop us?"

5 The LORD replies, "I have seen violence done to the helpless,
  and I have heard the groans of the poor.
Now I will rise up to rescue them,
  as they have longed for me to do."
6 The LORD's promises are pure,
  like silver refined in a furnace,
  purified seven times over.
7 Therefore, LORD, we know you will protect the oppressed,
  preserving them forever from this lying generation,
8 even though the wicked strut about,
  and evil is praised throughout the land.
