| 12:1 | 〔大衛的詩、交與伶長、調用第八。〕耶和華阿、求你幫助、因虔誠人斷絕了.世人中間的忠信人沒有了。 | Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. |
| 12:2 | 人人向鄰舍說謊.他們說話、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、和誇大的舌頭、耶和華必要剪除。 | The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things: |
| 12:4 | 他們曾說、我們必能以舌頭得勝.我們的嘴唇是我們自己的.誰能作我們的主呢。 | Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us? |
| 12:5 | 耶和華說、因為困苦人的冤屈、和貧窮人的歎息、我現在要起來、把他安置在他所切慕的穩妥之地。 | 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 | 耶和華的言語、是純淨的言語.如同銀子在泥爐中煉過七次。 | The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. |
| 12:7 | 耶和華阿、你必保護他們.你必保佑他們永遠脫離這世代的人。 | 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、就有惡人到處遊行。 | The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted. |
