From Textus Receptus

Psa 12:1 <To the chiefe musition vpon (an instrument) of eyght stringes, a psalme of Dauid.> Saue thou [me] O God, for there is not one godly man left: for the faythfull are diminished from among the chyldren of men. Psa 12:2 Euery one vseth vayne talke with his neyghbour: and speaketh with a double heart out of flatteryng lippes. Psa 12:3 God wyll cut away all flatteryng lippes: [and] the tongue that speaketh great thinges. Psa 12:4 Whiche say, we wyll preuayle with our tongue: our lippes are our owne, who is Lorde ouer vs? Psa 12:5 For the calamities of the oppressed, for the deepe sighyng of the poore, I wyll nowe vp sayeth God: and I wyll put in safetie, [hym] whom the [wicked] hath snared. Psa 12:6 The wordes of God be wordes pure, as the siluer tryed in a furnace of earth: and purified seuen times. Psa 12:7 [Wherfore] thou wylt kepe the godly, O God: thou wylt preserue euery one of them from this generation for euer. Psa 12:8 The vngodly walke on euery side: when the worst sort be exalted amongst the chyldren of men.
