☦️ Psalm 12 - English Standard Version

[sprinkleeninow]

The Faithful Have Vanished
To the choirmaster: according to The Sheminith. A Psalm of David.

12 Save, O Lord, for the godly one is gone;
for the faithful have vanished from among the children of man.

2 Everyone utters lies to his neighbor;
with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.

3 May the Lord cut off all flattering lips,
the tongue that makes great boasts,

4 those who say, “With our tongue we will prevail,
our lips are with us; who is master over us?”

5 “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.”

6 The words of the Lord are pure words,
like silver refined in a furnace on the ground,
purified seven times.

7 You, O Lord, will keep them;
you will guard us from this generation forever.

8 On every side the wicked prowl,
as vileness is exalted among the children of man.

1. So the likes of Trump and his followers are not a new thing.

A few thousand years ago, same thing.

[sprinkleeninow]

2. Since the dawn of mankind.

Coming on the scene faster and more furious appears.
The disease is spreading and is contagious.
