Psalm 12

New International Reader’s Version

For the director of music. According to sheminith. A psalm of David.

1 Help, LORD! No one does what is right anymore. Those who are faithful have disappeared from the human race. 2 Everyone tells lies to their neighbours. With their lips they praise others, but they don’t really mean it. 3 May the LORD close all lips that don’t mean what they say. May he stop every tongue that boasts. 4 They say, ‘What we speak with our tongues will win the battle. What we say with our lips will keep us safe. No one will have victory over us.’ 5 The LORD says, ‘The poor are being robbed. Those who are in need groan. So I will stand up to help them. I will keep them safe from those who tell lies about them.’ 6 The words of the LORD are perfect. They are like silver made pure in a clay furnace. They are like gold made pure seven times over. 7 LORD, you will keep needy people safe. You will always keep sinners from hurting us. 8 Proud and sinful people walk around openly when the evil they do is praised by the human race.

Молитва във време на беда

(По слав. 11.)

1 За първия певец, на осмострунна арфа^[1]. Давидов псалом. Помогни, ГОСПОДИ; защото не остана вече благочестив; защото се губят верните измежду човешките синове. (Isa 57:1; Mic 7:2) 2 Всеки говори лъжа на ближния си; с ласкателни устни говорят от двулично сърце. (Ps 10:7; Ps 28:3; Ps 62:4; Jer 9:8; Ro 16:18)

Ps 10:7Ps 28:3Ps 62:4Jer 9:8Ro 16:18

3 ГОСПОД ще изтреби всички ласкателни устни, език, който говори големи неща. (1Sa 2:3; Ps 17:10; Da 7:8; Da 7:25)

1Sa 2:3Ps 17:10Da 7:8Da 7:25

4 На онези, които са казвали: Ще надвием с езика си; устните ни са наши; кой е господар над нас? 5 Поради насилието над сиромасите, поради въздишките на нуждаещите се сега ще стана, казва ГОСПОД; ще сложа в безопасност онзи, когото презират^[2]. (Ex 3:7; Ex 3:8; Ps 10:5; Isa 33:10)

Ex 3:7Ex 3:8Ps 10:5Isa 33:10

6 ГОСПОДНИТЕ думи са чисти думи – като сребро, претопено в пещ от пръст, пречистено седем пъти. (2Sa 22:31; Ps 18:30; Ps 19:8; Ps 119:140; Pr 30:5)

2Sa 22:31Ps 18:30Ps 19:8Ps 119:140Pr 30:5

7 Ти, ГОСПОДИ, ще ги закриляш, ще пазиш всеки от тях от това поколение до века, 8 при все че нечестивите ходят свободно от всяка страна, понеже безчестието се въздига между човешките синове.
