Psalms 12

NEW JERUSALEM	NOVA VULGATA
1 [For the choirmaster On the octachord Psalm Of David] Help, Yahweh! No one loyal is left, the faithfulhave vanished from among the children of Adam.	1 Magistro chori. Super octavam. Psalmus. David.
2 Friend tel s lies to friend, and, smooth-tongued, speaks from an insincere heart.	2 Salvum me fac, Domine, quoniam defecit sanctus, quoniam deminuti sunt fideles a filiis hominum.
3 May Yahweh cut away every smooth lip, every boastful tongue,	3 Vana locuti sunt unusquisque ad proximum suum; in labiis dolosis, in duplici corde locuti sunt.
4 those who say, 'In our tongue lies our strength, our lips are our al ies; who can master us?'	4 Disperdat Dominus universa labia dolosa et linguam magniloquam.
5 'For the poor who are plundered, the needy who groan, now wil I act,' says Yahweh, 'I wil grantsalvation to those who sigh for it.'	5 Qui dixerunt: “ Lingua nostra magnificabimur, labia nostra a nobis sunt; quis noster dominus est? ”.
6 Yahweh's promises are promises unal oyed, natural silver which comes from the earth seven timesrefined.	6 “ Propter miseriam inopum et gemitum pauperum, nunc exsurgam, dicit Dominus; ponam in salutari illum, quem despiciunt ”.
7 You, Yahweh, wil watch over them, you will protect them from that brood for ever.	7 Eloquia Domini eloquia casta, argentum igne examinatum, separatum a terra, purgatum septuplum.
8 The wicked wil scatter in every direction, as the height of depravity among the children of Adam.	8 Tu, Domine, servabis nos et custodies nos a generatione hac in aeternum. In circuitu impii ambulant, cum exaltantur sordes inter filios hominum.
