Psalm 12 | New International Version

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

1 Help, Lord, for no-one is faithful anymore; those who are loyal have vanished from the human race.*

2 Everyone lies to their neighbour; they flatter with their lips but harbour deception in their hearts.

3 May the Lord silence all flattering lips and every boastful tongue –

4 those who say, ‘By our tongues we will prevail; our own lips will defend us – who is lord over us?’

5 ‘Because the poor are plundered and the needy groan, I will now arise,’ says the Lord. ‘I will protect them from those who malign them.’

6 And the words of the Lord are flawless, like silver purified in a crucible, like gold* refined seven times.

7 You, Lord, will keep the needy safe and will protect us for ever from the wicked,

8 who freely strut about when what is vile is honoured by the human race.

12. Mezmur

Müzik şefi için - Sekiz telli sazlarla - Davut'un mezmuru

1 * Kurtar beni, ya RAB, sadık kulun kalmadı, Güvenilir insanlar yok oldu.

2 Herkes birbirine yalan söylüyor, Dalkavukluk, ikiyüzlülük ediyor.

3 Sustursun RAB dalkavukların ağzını, Büyüklenen dilleri.

4 Onlar ki, ‹‹Dilimizle kazanırız, Dudaklarımız emrimizde, Kim bize efendilik edebilir?›› derler.

5 ‹‹Şimdi kalkacağım›› diyor RAB, ‹‹Çünkü mazlumlar eziliyor, Yoksullar inliyor, Özledikleri kurtuluşu vereceğim onlara.››

6 RAB'bin sözleri pak sözlerdir; Toprak ocakta eritilmiş, Yedi kez arıtılmış gümüşe benzer.

7 Sen onları koru, ya RAB, Bu kötü kuşaktan hep uzak tut!

8 İnsanlar arasında alçaklık rağbet görünce, Kötüler her yanda dolaşır oldu.
