      Psalm 12 (Listen)

      The Faithful Have Vanished

      To the choirmaster: according to The Sheminith.1 A Psalm of David.

      12:1   Save, O LORD, for the godly one is gone;
          for the faithful have vanished from among the children of man.
      2   Everyone utters lies to his neighbor;
          with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.
      3   May the LORD cut off all flattering lips,
          the tongue that makes great boasts,
      4   those who say, “With our tongue we will prevail,
          our lips are with us; who is master over us?”
      5   “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.”
      6   The words of the LORD are pure words,
          like silver refined in a furnace on the ground,
          purified seven times.
      7   You, O LORD, will keep them;
          you will guard us2 from this generation forever.
      8   On every side the wicked prowl,
          as vileness is exalted among the children of man.

      Salvation is not merely to be put in “safety” but to be put into Christ.
