Psalm 12 by The Corner Room Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Save, O Lord, for the godly one is gone
For the faithful
Have vanished from among the children of man
Everyone utters lies to his neighbor
With flattering lips
And a double heart they speak

[Chorus]
May the Lord cut off all flattering lips
The tongue that makes great boasts
Those who say, “With our tongue we will prevail
Our lips are with us; who is master over us?”

[Verse 2]
“Because the poor are plundered, because the needy groan
I will now arise,” says the Lord
“I will place him in the safety for which he longs.”
The words of the Lord are pure words
Like silver refined in a furnace on the ground
Purified seven times
[Verse 3]
You, O Lord, will keep them
You will guard us from this generation forever
On every side the wicked prowl
As vileness is exalted among the children of man
