| 12:1 | 〔大卫的诗、交与伶长、调用第八。〕耶和华阿、求你帮助、因虔诚人断绝了.世人中间的忠信人没有了。 | Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. |
| 12:2 | 人人向邻舍说谎.他们说话、是嘴唇油滑、心口不一。 | They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. |
| 12:3 | 凡油滑的嘴唇、和夸大的舌头、耶和华必要剪除。 | The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things: |
| 12:4 | 他们曾说、我们必能以舌头得胜.我们的嘴唇是我们自己的.谁能作我们的主呢。 | Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us? |
| 12:5 | 耶和华说、因为困苦人的冤屈、和贫穷人的叹息、我现在要起来、把他安置在他所切慕的稳妥之地。 | 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. |
| 12:6 | 耶和华的言语、是纯净的言语.如同银子在泥炉中炼过七次。 | The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. |
| 12:7 | 耶和华阿、你必保护他们.你必保佑他们永远脱离这世代的人。 | Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. |
| 12:8 | 下流人在世人中升高、就有恶人到处游行。 | The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted. |
