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.

حمايت خدا از درستكاران

1 ای خداوند، به داد ما برس، زيرا ديگر اثری از خداشناسان نيست و انسان درستكاری در دنيا باقی نمانده است. 2 همه دروغ میگويند و با چاپلوسی يكديگر را فريب میدهند. 3 ای خداوند، زبان چاپلوسان و متكبران را ببر كه میگويند: «ما هر چه را كه بخواهيم با زبانمان به دست میآوريم. هر چه را كه بخواهيم میگوييم و كسی نمیتواند مانع ما شود.» 5 خداوند میگويد: «من برمیخيزم و به داد فقيران و درماندگان میرسم و آنها را از دست ظالمان نجات میبخشم.» 6 وعدههای خداوند، مانند نقرهای كه هفت بار در كوره تصفيه شده باشد، پاک و قابل اعتماد است. 7 ای خداوند، هر چند پای اشخاص بدكار به همه جا رسيده است و مردم كارهای پليد آنها را ستايش میكنند، ولی تو ما را تا ابد از چنين اشخاص حفظ خواهی كرد.
