Psalms 12

Amplified Bible, 2015 (AMP)

Back to Bible
1 You broke open fountains and streams; You dried up ever-flowing rivers.
2 The day is Yours, the night also is Yours; You have established and prepared the [heavenly] light and the sun.
3 You have defined and established all the borders of the earth [the divisions of land and sea and of the nations]; You have made summer and winter.
4 Remember this, O LORD, the enemy has scoffed, And a foolish and impious people has spurned Your name.
5 Oh, do not hand over the soul of your turtledove to the wild beast; Do not forget the life of Your afflicted forever.
6 Consider the covenant [You made with Abraham], For the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.
7 Let not the oppressed return dishonored; Let the afflicted and needy praise Your name.
8 Arise, O God, plead Your own cause; Remember how the foolish man scoffs at You all day long.
