Psalm Twelve
Psalm 12
For the director of music. For sheminith. A psalm of David.
Help, Lord! Those who do what is right are gone. Those who are faithful have disappeared from the earth. 2 Everyone tells lies to his neighbors. With his lips he praises others, but he doesn't really mean it. 3 May the Lord cut off all lips that don't mean what they say. May he cut out every tongue that brags. 4 They say, "We will win the battle with our tongues. Our lips belong to us. No one else is in charge of us." 5 The Lord says, "The weak are beaten down. Those who are in need groan. So I will stand up to help them. I will keep them safe from those who tell lies about them." 6 The words of the Lord are perfect. They are like silver made pure in a clay furnace. They are like silver made pure seven times over. 7 Lord, you will keep us safe. You will always keep sinners from hurting us.
8 Proud and sinful people walk around openly when the evil they do is praised by others.

Dig Deeper! Psalm 12 has a really encouraging revelation that courses through the eight verses! God is showing us an attribute of His that I have named “His Always”! He is Consistently-Constant in our lives in truth, wisdom, power and love! He is always looking out for us, always for us and always has our back. Whatever evil is around the corner, He has already turned that corner and has defused it for the good use of His Kingdom purpose for us. It doesn’t matter how much evil comes against us in its many diverse ways, because our AWE-GOD is always ready to be our Advocate in our all and everything!
