A Cause For Alarm

Psalm 12 - Help, LORD- for the godly man ceaseth- for the faithful fail from among the children of men.-2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour- with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.-3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things--4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail- our lips are our own- who is lord over us---5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD- I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.-6 The words of the LORD are pure words- as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.-7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.-8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.-
