Psalms 12:1-5 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. For the leader; “upon the eighth.” A psalm of David.

2. Help, Lord, for no one loyal remains;the faithful have vanished from the children of men.

3. They tell lies to one another,speak with deceiving lips and a double heart.

4. May the Lord cut off all deceiving lips,and every boastful tongue,

5. Those who say, “By our tongues we prevail;when our lips speak, who can lord it over us?”
