Mga Awit 12
Magandang Balita Biblia
Panalangin Upang Tulungan ng Diyos
Katha ni David upang awitin ng Punong Mang-aawit: sa saliw ng Sheminit.[a]
12 O Yahweh, kami sana'y iligtas mo! Pagkat wala na ngayong mabuting tao,
wala nang taong tapat at totoo.
2 Nagsisinungaling silang lahat sa isa't isa,
nagkukunwari at nagdadayaan sila.
3 Patigilin mo, Yahweh, ang madaldal na dila,
at sarhan ang bibig ng hambog magsalita;
4 silang laging nagsasabi,
“Kami'y magsasalita ng nais namin;
at sa gusto nami'y walang makakapigil!”
5 “Darating na ako,” sabi ni Yahweh,
“Upang saklolohan ang mga inaapi.
Sa pinag-uusig na walang magkupkop,
hangad nilang tulong ay ipagkakaloob!”
6 Ang mga pangako ni Yahweh ay maaasahan,
ang katulad nila'y pilak na lantay;
tinunaw sa hurnong hinukay, pitong beses na pinadalisay.
7 Kami, Yahweh, ay lagi mong ingatan,
sa ganitong mga tao ay huwag pabayaan;
8 Ang masasamang tao'y nasa lahat ng lugar,
ang mga gawang liko ay ikinararangal!

Psalm 12
International Children’s Bible
A Prayer Against Liars
For the director of music. By the sheminith. A song of David.
12 Save me, Lord, because the good people are all gone.
No true believers are left on earth.
2 Everyone lies to his neighbors.
They say one thing and mean another.
3 The Lord will stop those lying lips.
He will cut off those bragging tongues.
4 They say, “Our tongues will help us win.
We can say what we wish. No one is our master.”
5 But the Lord says,
“I will now rise up
because the poor are being hurt.
Because of the moans of the helpless,
I will give them the help they want.”
6 The Lord’s words are pure.
They are like silver purified by fire,
like silver purified seven times over.
7 Lord, keep us safe.
Always protect us from such people.
8 The wicked are all around us.
Everyone loves what is wrong.
