Psalms 12

1 To the chief Musician. Upon Sheminith. A Psalm of David. Save, Jehovah, for the godly man is gone; for the faithful have failed from among the children of men.

Tumulongka, O Yahweh, ta nagpukaw dagiti nadiosan; awanen dagiti napudno.

2 They speak falsehood every one with his neighbour: [with] flattering lip, with a double heart, do they speak.

Agibagbaga ti tunggal maysa iti parbo a sasao iti kaarrubana; agsasao ti tunggal maysa nga addaan iti managpasablog a dila ken manangallilaw a puso.

3 Jehovah will cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh proud things,

O Yahweh, putdem dagiti amin a managpasablog a bibig, tunggal dila a mangipabpablaak iti nalabes a banbanag.

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

Dagitoy dagiti nagkuna, “Agballigikami babaen kadagiti dilami. No agsaokami, siasino ti makabael a mangituray kadakami?”

5 Because of the oppression of the afflicted, because of the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith Jehovah, I will set [him] in safety, at whom they puff.

Gapu iti kinaranggas a maibusor kadagiti napanglaw, gapu iti as-asug dagiti agkasapulan, bumangonakto,” kuna ni Yahweh. “Ipaaykonto ti kinatalged a kalkalikagumanda.”

6 The words of Jehovah are pure words, silver tried in the furnace of earth, purified seven times.

Nasin-aw dagiti sasao ni Yahweh, kasla pirak a napadalus iti naminpito iti maysa nga orno iti rabaw ti daga.

7 Thou, Jehovah, wilt keep them, thou wilt preserve them from this generation for ever.

Sika ni Yahweh! Salsalaknibam ida. Ay-aywanam dagiti nadiosan a tattao manipud iti daytoy nadangkes a kaputotan ken iti agnanayon.

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

Magna dagiti nadangkes iti tunggal suli no maitan-ok ti kinadakes kadagiti annak dagiti tattao.
