CHAPTER 12
For the choirmaster.
According to
Sheminith.
A Psalm
of David.
Help,
O LORD,
for
the godly
are no more;
the faithful
have vanished
from among
men.
“For the cause
of the oppressed
and the groaning
of the needy,
I will now
arise,”
says
the LORD.
“I will bring
safety
to him who yearns.”
The words
of the LORD
are flawless,
like silver
refined
in a furnace,
like gold
purified
sevenfold.
