Salmi 12

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Magistro chori. Super octavam. Psalmus. David.	1 For the leader; "upon the eighth." A psalm of David.
2 Salvum me fac, Domine, quoniam defecit sanctus, quoniam deminuti sunt fideles a filiis hominum.	2 Help, LORD, for no one loyal remains; the faithful have vanished from the human race
3 Vana locuti sunt unusquisque ad proximum suum; in labiis dolosis, in duplici corde locuti sunt.	3 Those who tell lies to one another speak with deceiving lips and a double heart.
4 Disperdat Dominus universa labia dolosa et linguam magniloquam.	4 May the LORD cut off all deceiving lips, and every boastful tongue,
5 Qui dixerunt: “ Lingua nostra magnificabimur, labia nostra a nobis sunt; quis noster dominus est? ”.	5 Those who say, "By our tongues we prevail; when our lips speak, who can lord it over us?"
6 “ Propter miseriam inopum et gemitum pauperum, nunc exsurgam, dicit Dominus; ponam in salutari illum, quem despiciunt ”.	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."
7 Eloquia Domini eloquia casta, argentum igne examinatum, separatum a terra, purgatum septuplum.	7 The promises of the LORD are sure, silver refined in a crucible, silver purified seven times.
8 Tu, Domine, servabis nos et custodies nos a generatione hac in aeternum. In circuitu impii ambulant, cum exaltantur sordes inter filios hominum.	8 LORD, protect us always; preserve us from this generation.
	9 On every side the wicked strut; the shameless are extolled by all.
