Psalms 12

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 For the leader; "upon the eighth." A psalm of David.	1 εις το τελος ψαλμος τω δαυιδ
2 Help, LORD, for no one loyal remains; the faithful have vanished from the human race	2 εως ποτε κυριε επιληση μου εις τελος εως ποτε αποστρεψεις το προσωπον σου απ' εμου
3 Those who tell lies to one another speak with deceiving lips and a double heart.	3 εως τινος θησομαι βουλας εν ψυχη μου οδυνας εν καρδια μου ημερας εως ποτε υψωθησεται ο εχθρος μου επ' εμε
4 May the LORD cut off all deceiving lips, and every boastful tongue,	4 επιβλεψον εισακουσον μου κυριε ο θεος μου φωτισον τους οφθαλμους μου μηποτε υπνωσω εις θανατον
5 Those who say, "By our tongues we prevail; when our lips speak, who can lord it over us?"	5 μηποτε ειπη ο εχθρος μου ισχυσα προς αυτον οι θλιβοντες με αγαλλιασονται εαν σαλευθω
6 "Because they rob the weak, and the needy groan, I will now arise," says the LORD; "I will grant safety to whoever longs for it."	6 εγω δε επι τω ελεει σου ηλπισα αγαλλιασεται η καρδια μου επι τω σωτηριω σου ασω τω κυριω τω ευεργετησαντι με και ψαλω τω ονοματι κυριου του υψιστου
7 The promises of the LORD are sure, silver refined in a crucible, silver purified seven times.
8 LORD, protect us always; preserve us from this generation.
9 On every side the wicked strut; the shameless are extolled by all.
