시편 12

개요

다윗이 신실한 자들이 사라지고 거짓말하는 자들이 판치는 시대를 탄식한다. 하나님이 신음하는 가난한 자들을 위해 일어나겠다고 약속하신다. 하나님의 말씀은 일곱 번 정련된 순은처럼 순수하다. 인류 가운데 비열함이 끊이지 않는다고 한탄하며 마무리된다.

Full Text

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.
