Psalm 12
This is another of David's Psalms, "According to Sheminith" (Whatever that means!)
It seems that David is feeling the pressure when he wrote this Psalm, nobody is faithful anymore, loyal people seem to have vanished from the gene pool, people lie to their neighbours smiling and flattering but harbouring deception in reality.
David asked God to silence flattering lips and boasts and those who think that they can talk their way into or out of any trouble and have no need of God as an advocate.
God says because the poor are plundered and the needy groan in suffering he will take action and protect them.
God's words are flawless - compared to silver and highly refined gold
The psalm ends with the faith that God keeps the needy safe and protected from the wicked who strut about when mankind finds what is detestable honourable.
