Psalm 12 | English Standard Version

The Faithful Have Vanished

1 To the choirmaster: according to The Sheminith.* A Psalm of David. 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 us* from this generation forever. 8 On every side the wicked prowl, as vileness is exalted among the children of man.

La Biblia Textual

Al director del coro. En sheminit. Salmo de David.

1 ¡Salva, oh YHVH, porque se están acabando los piadosos! Porque han desaparecido los leales entre los hijos del hombre. 2 Hablan falsedades, cada uno a su prójimo, Hablan con labios lisonjeros y doblez de corazón. 3 ¡Corte YHVH todo labio lisonjero, Y la lengua que habla altanerías! 4 A los que dicen: Haremos poderosa a nuestra lengua, Nuestros labios están con nosotros, ¿Quién es señor sobre nosotros? 5 Por la opresión de los pobres, Por el gemido del menesteroso, Ahora me levantaré, dice YHVH. Pondré en seguridad a los que son escarnecidos. 6 Las palabras de YHVH son palabras puras, Como plata refinada en un crisol en la tierra, Purificada siete veces. 7 Tú los guardarás, oh YHVH, Nos preservarás de esta generación para siempre. 8 Por todos lados deambulan los malvados, Cuando la vileza es exaltada entre los hijos del hombre.
