Psalms 12

Psalm 12
This is a psalm that David wrote for the music leader.
God's promises are true
1 Lord, please help me!
All the good people have gone away!
No kind or faithful people remain.
2Everybody tells lies to one another.
When they say nice things,
they do it to deceive their friends.
3 Lord, please shut their mouths!
When they deceive people or they boast,
stop them doing that!
4They say:
‘Nobody can tell us what to do!
We will say what we like to get what we want!’
5But the Lord says:
‘Now I will do something!
I know the cruel things that wicked people do to poor people.
When weak people cry with pain, I hear them.
So I will make them safe,
as they want me to do for them.’
6The Lord's promises are true.
We can trust them,
because they are pure.
They are as pure as silver
that people have put in a hot fire seven times. #12:6 People use a hot fire to make silver clean and pure. It is then very beautiful and it has great value.
7Yes Lord, you will take care of the poor people.
You will always keep each one of them safe
from all those evil people.
8But if people praise evil things,
then wicked people will boast more and more.
