Salmos 12
Brenton's English Septuagint
1For the end, A Psalm of David, upon the eighth. - Save me, O Lord; for the godly man has failed; for Gr. truths are become rare truth is diminished from among the children of men.
2Every one has spoken vanity to his neighbour: their lips are deceitful, they have spoken with a double heart.
3Let the Lord destroy all the deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaks great words:
4who have said, We will magnify our tongue; our lips are our own: who is Lord of us?
5Because of the misery of the poor, and because of the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the Lord, I will set them in safety; I will speak to them thereof openly.
6The oracles of the Lord are pure oracles; as silver tried in the fire, proved in a Gr. the earth furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7Thou, O Lord, shalt keep us, and shalt preserve us, from this generation, and for ever.
8The ungodly walk around: according to thy greatness thou has greatly exalted the sons of men.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Al Músico principal: sobre Seminith: Salmo de David. SALVA, oh Jehová, porque se acabaron los misericordiosos: porque se han acabado los fieles de entre los hijos de los hombres.
2Mentira habla cada uno con su prójimo; con labios lisonjeros, con corazón doble hablan.
3Destruirá Jehová todos los labios lisonjeros, la lengua que habla grandezas;
4Que dijeron: Por nuestra lengua prevaleceremos; nuestros labios están con nosotros: ¿quién nos es señor?
5Por la opresión de los pobres, por el gemido de los menesterosos, ahora me levantaré, dice Jehová: pondrélos en salvo del que contra ellos se engríe.
6Las palabras de Jehová, palabras limpias; plata refinada en horno de tierra, purificada siete veces.
7Tú, Jehová, los guardarás; guárdalos para siempre de aquesta generación.
8Cercando andan los malos, mientras son exaltados los más viles de los hijos de los hombres.
King James Version
1Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
3The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
4Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
5For 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.
6The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
8The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
World English Bible
1Help, LORD; for the godly man ceases. For the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.
3May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts,
4who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?”
5“Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says the LORD; “I will set him in safety from those who malign him.”
6The LORD’s words are flawless words, as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.
7You will keep them, LORD. You will preserve them from this generation forever.
8The wicked walk on every side, when what is vile is exalted among the sons of men.
