<< Psalm 12 >> Aramaic Bible in Plain English

---

1Save, Lord Jehovah, because the good man is finished and faith has ceased from the Earth!

2The children of men speak emptiness, and a man with his neighbor with duplicitous lips; they speak with a double heart.

3Lord Jehovah will destroy all duplicitous lips and tongues that speak proud things.

4Who have said, “Our tongue will prevail; our lips are our Lord.”

5“Because of the robbery of the poor and the groans of the ill, therefore I shall arise”, says Lord Jehovah, “and I shall work salvation openly.”

6The words of Lord Jehovah are pure words, choice silver in a furnace in the Earth, and purified each by seven.

7And you, Lord Jehovah, will keep them; redeem me and save me, from this generation to eternity.

8The wicked go around and walk according to the contemptible pride of the sons of Edom.
