Psalms 12:1


Psalms 11:7 Psalms 12:1 (KJV) Psalms 12:2
For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
To the chief Musician upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: [with] flattering lips [and] with a double heart do they speak.
