The prayer “Help, LORD,” and the LORD’s flawless words
여호와께 도우소서 하는 기도와 순결한 여호와의 말씀
Psalm 12:1–8: the text says, “Help, LORD; for the godly man ceases. For the faithful fail from among the children of men. Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart. May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts, who have said, ‘With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?’” “Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says the LORD; “I will set him in safety from those who malign him.” The text goes on, “The LORD’s words are flawless words, as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times. You will keep them, LORD. You will preserve them from this generation forever. The wicked walk on every side, when what is vile is exalted among the sons of men.” The Korean Revised Version reads at 12:5 저를 그 원하는 안전 지대에 두리라, with 그 원하는 안전 지대, the safety longed for, where WEB reads “I will set him in safety from those who malign him”. WEB opens 12:1 with the title “For the Chief Musician; upon an eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm of David.”; the Korean Revised Version text this collection holds has no title in 12:1.
