A Psalm
<04210>

Help
<03467> (8685)_,

LORD
<03068>_;

for the godly man
<02623>

ceaseth
<01584> (8804)_;

for the faithful
<0539> (8803)

fail
<06461> (8804)

from among the children

They speak
<01696> (8762)

vanity
<07723>

every one
<0376>

with his neighbour
<07453>_:

[with] flattering
<02513>

lips
<08193>

[and] with a double
<03820>

heart
<03820>

do they speak
<01696> (8762)_.

{a double...: Heb. an heart and an heart}

12:3

The LORD
<03068>

shall cut off
<03772> (8686)

all flattering
<02513>

lips
<08193>_,

[and] the tongue
<03956>

that speaketh
<01696> (8764)

proud
<01419>

things: {proud: Heb. great}

12:4

Who have said
<0559> (8804)_,

With our tongue
<03956>

will we prevail
<01396> (8686)_;

our lips
<08193>

[are] our own: who [is] lord
<0113>

over us? {are...: Heb. are with us}

12:5

For the oppression
<07701>

of the poor
<06041>_,

for the sighing
<0603>

of the needy
<034>_,

now will I arise
<06965> (8799)_,

saith
<0559> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>_;

I will set
<07896> (8799)

[him] in safety
<03468>

[from him that] puffeth
<06315> (8686)

at him. {puffeth...: or, would ensnare him}
