Psalm 12 (The Words of the Lord) Lyrics

By The Psalm Project

Lyrics

Help! Help, Lord

For the godly cease to be

For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men

Everybody speaks idle words with smooth-talking, flattering lips and a double heart

May the Lord cut off all truth-perverting, flattering lips and the tongue that speaks with pride

The tongue that speaks with pride

For this is what they say...


"With the words we speak we'll conquer

With our tongue and our lips, the weapons of our choice

There's no God over us"

It's a war of words

And our enemies think they will win


"For the oppression of the poor, now I will arise," says the Lord

"For the groaning of the needy, now I will arise, says the Lord

"I will give my salvation to whosoever yearns for it in his heart"

The words of the Lord are pure words

Not the lying wicked words of men


The words of the Lord are pure words

Purified pure as silver that's purified seven times

You will keep them, You'll preserve them for all time

Now and forever


The wicked prowl on every side when evil is exalted among the sons of men
