HELP LORD / PSALMS 12:1-8

(KJV) Psalms 12:1-8

Help, Lord; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. ² They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. ³ The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things: ⁴ Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us? ⁵ 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. ⁶ The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. ⁷ Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. ⁸ The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.

This psalm describes a time when those who are committed to God are deeply troubled by the ungodly activity of wicked people. God’s people have always experienced this, but in the last days before Christ returns these conditions will be very common and deeply rooted among humankind (1 Timothy 4:1). However, Christ’s followers have the assurance that God’s power and presence will protect and encourage them when evil is at its worst (Psalms 12:5). God will “keep us safe and protect us from such people forever” (Psalms 12:7; 1 Peter 1:5).
