Psalms 12

1 For the Chief Musician; set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.

八音にあはせて伶長にうたはしめたるダビデのうた ああヱホバよ助けたまへ そは紳をうやまふ人はたえ誠あるものは人の子のなかより消失るなり

2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.

人はみな虚偽をもてその隣とあひかたり滑かなるくちびると貳心とをもてものいふ

3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh great things:

ヱホバはすべての滑かなるくちびると大なる言をかたる舌とをほろぼし給はん

4 Who have said, with our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

かれらはいふ われら舌をもて勝をえん この口唇はわがものなり誰かわれらに主たらんやと

5 For the spoiling of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety at whom they puff.

ヱホバのたまはく 苦しむもの掠められ貧しきもの歎くがゆゑに我いま起てこれをその慕ひもとむる平安におかん

6 The words of the LORD are pure words; as silver tried in a furnace on the earth, purified seven times.

ヱホバの言はきよきことばなり 地にまうけたる炉にてねり七次きよめたる白銀のごとし

7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

ヱホバよ汝はかれらをまもり之をたすけてとこしへにこの類より免れしめたまはん

8 The wicked walk on every side, when vileness is exalted among the sons of men.

人の子のなかに穢しきことの崇めらるるときは惡者ここやかしこにあるくなり
