PSALM 12

  1. Help, Lord! For principled and godly people are here no more; faithfulness and the faithful vanish from among the sons of men.
  2. To his neighbor each one speaks words without use or worth, or truth; with flattering lips and double heart (deceitfully) they speak. Amp. C.

This is a Psalm of David written so many years ago that sounds so very much like today. I think because of the media, it is easier to hear so many wrongful voices. Where are the truly godly ones who speak truth? Where are the Charlie Kirks?

5. Now will I arise, says the Lord, because the poor are oppressed, because of groans of the needy; I will set him in safety and in the salvation for which he pants.

6. The words and promises of the Lord are pure words, like silver refined in an earthen furnace, purified seven times over.

7. You will keep them and preserve them, O Lord; You will guard and keep us from this evil generation forever. Amp. C.

The Lord is making a promise for these bad days. We see and hear of so many bad things going on all around. He sees it all and will make the needed changes. He will arise and change it all. He will keep, guard and preserve us from all the evil that we see and hear. How will He do this?

He will hear the groans of the needy. Are you happy with this life? Do you want to leave all this evil, looking forward to what the Lord will do? Then you are willing to let Him place you in a safe place. In order to be safe, we must be separate from this world and all it holds dear. He will keep us from this evil generation, but we will have to separate ourselves from them.

1 John 2:15 Do not love or cherish the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in him.

We must make that decision that we are like Jesus and not like this world. This world is not our home, and we should not want anything to do with any part of it. That is our salvation. We must let Him save us and take us out of this world into His heavenly realm. Then we are safe, kept and preserved.

  1. Dear friend, Psalm 12 is a heartfelt plea for God’s protection amid widespread deceit and wickedness, affirming that though the faithful may seem lost, God’s pure and perfect word remains a refuge that guards and preserves the righteous from evil.
