Psalms 12:2


Psalms 12:1 Psalms 12:2 (KJV) Psalms 12:3
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.
The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, [and] the tongue that speaketh proud things:
