12:1 [hgb] （ 大 卫 的 诗 ， 交 与 伶 长 。 调 用 第 八 。 ） 耶 和 华 阿 ， 求 你 帮 助 ， 因 虔 诚 人 断 绝 了 。 世 人 中 间 的 忠 信 人 没 有 了 。
[kjv] Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
[bbe] <For the chief music-maker on the Sheminith. A Psalm. Of David.> Send help, Lord, for mercy has come to an end; there is no more faith among the children of men.
12:2 [hgb] 人 人 向 邻 舍 说 谎 。 他 们 说 话 ， 是 嘴 唇 油 滑 ， 心 口 不 一 。
[kjv] They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
[bbe] Everyone says false words to his neighbour: their tongues are smooth in their talk, and their hearts are full of deceit.
12:3 [hgb] 凡 油 滑 的 嘴 唇 ， 和 夸 大 的 舌 头 ， 耶 和 华 必 要 剪 除 。
[kjv] The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
[bbe] The smooth lips and the tongue of pride will be cut off by the Lord.
12:4 [hgb] 他 们 曾 说 ， 我 们 必 能 以 舌 头 得 胜 。 我 们 的 嘴 唇 是 我 们 自 己 的 。 谁 能 作 我 们 的 主 呢 ？
[kjv] Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
[bbe] They have said, With our tongues will we overcome; our lips are ours: who is lord over us?
12:5 [hgb] 耶 和 华 说 ， 因 为 困 苦 人 的 冤 屈 ， 和 贫 穷 人 的 叹 息 ， 我 现 在 要 起 来 ， 把 他 安 置 在 他 所 切 慕 的 稳 妥 之 地 。
[kjv] For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
[bbe] Because of the crushing of the poor and the weeping of those in need, now will I come to his help, says the Lord; I will give him the salvation which he is desiring.
12:6 [hgb] 耶 和 华 的 言 语 ， 是 纯 净 的 言 语 。 如 同 银 子 在 泥 炉 中 炼 过 七 次 。
[kjv] The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
[bbe] The words of the Lord are true words: like silver tested by fire and burned clean seven times.
12:7 [hgb] 耶 和 华 阿 ， 你 必 保 护 他 们 。 你 必 保 佑 他 们 永 远 脱 离 这 世 代 的 人 。
[kjv] Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
[bbe] You will keep them, O Lord, you will keep them safe from this generation for ever.
12:8 [hgb] 下 流 人 在 世 人 中 升 高 ， 就 有 恶 人 到 处 游 行 。
[kjv] The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
[bbe] The sinners are walking on every side, and evil is honoured among the children of men.
