Dios, protector del justo
Para el director del coro; sobre una lira de ocho cuerdas[a]. Salmo de David.
12 Salva, Señor, porque el piadoso deja de ser(A);
porque los fieles desaparecen de entre los hijos de los hombres.
2 Falsedad[b] habla cada uno a su prójimo(B);
hablan con labios lisonjeros[c](C) y con doblez de corazón.
3 Corte el Señor todo labio lisonjero,
la lengua que habla con exageración(D);
4 a los que han dicho: Con nuestra lengua prevaleceremos,
nuestros labios nos defienden[d]; ¿quién es señor sobre nosotros(E)?
5 Por la desolación del afligido(F), por los gemidos del menesteroso,
me levantaré ahora, dice el Señor(G); lo pondré en la seguridad que anhela(H).
6 Las palabras del Señor son palabras puras(I),
plata probada(J) en un crisol en la tierra, siete veces refinada.
7 Tú, Señor, los guardarás;
de esta generación los[e] preservarás para siempre(K).
8 En torno se pasean los impíos(L),
cuando la vileza[f] es exaltada(M) entre los hijos de los hombres.

Psalm 12[a]
For the director of music. According to sheminith.[b] A psalm of David.
1 Help, Lord, for no one is faithful anymore;(A)
those who are loyal have vanished from the human race.
2 Everyone lies(B) to their neighbor;
they flatter with their lips
but harbor deception in their hearts.(C)
3 May the Lord silence all flattering lips(D)
and every boastful tongue—(E)
4 those who say,
“By our tongues we will prevail;(F)
our own lips will defend us—who is lord over us?”

The Faithful Have Vanished
To the choirmaster: according to The Sheminith.[a] A Psalm of David.
12 Save, O Lord, for (A)the godly one is gone;
for the faithful have vanished from among the children of man.
2 Everyone (B)utters lies to his neighbor;
with (C)flattering lips and (D)a double heart they speak.
3 May the Lord cut off all (E)flattering lips,
the tongue that makes (F)great boasts,
4 those who say, “With our tongue we will prevail,
our lips are with us; who is master over us?”
5 “Because (G)the poor are plundered, because the needy groan,
(H)I will now arise,” says the Lord;
“I will place him in the (I)safety for which he longs.”
6 (J)The words of the Lord are pure words,
like silver refined in a furnace on the ground,
purified seven times.
7 You, O Lord, will keep them;
you will guard us[b] from this generation forever.
8 On every side the wicked prowl,
as vileness is exalted among the children of man.
