Psalm 12:1-8
Help, Lord, for no one is faithful anymore; those who are loyal have vanished from the human race.
May the Lord silence all flattering lips and every boastful tongue.
Because the poor are plundered and the needy groan, I will now arise,” says the Lord. “I will protect them from those who malign them.”
And the words of the Lord are flawless, like silver purified in a crucible, like gold refined seven times.
You, Lord, will keep the needy safe and will protect us forever from the wicked, who freely strut about when what is vile is honored by the human race.
Surrounded by those whose word cannot be trusted, the psalmist puts his faith in the utterly dependable promises of God.
Why?
Many arrogant and untrusted men around us, who we can trust, so pray to the Lord help us wisdom to identify whose word could be trusted. And only the words of the Lord are trustworthy.
God will judge this world and all human beings.

沿續11篇
人總是用一些經驗方法來勸說,聽起來好聽,似乎很有理。這的說謊,1)為掩蓋自己的過錯,不義,2)顯出自己的好,指出別人的錯
好聽卻不能解決問題。辯才無礙,以為可以橫行天下。
v5詩篇很少有神直接說話。耶和華說:因為困苦人的冤屈和貧窮人的歎息,我現在要起來,把他安置在他所切慕的穩妥之地。
神不會說沒有意義的廢話,像煉銀子,沒有雜質,純淨的。不會有例外或是沒有意義的話語。
謊話不會全是假的,可能七分真三分假,或是七分假。神的話卻是純淨如銀子熬煉七次。
神安置在穩妥之地,人是單數的,意即神一個一個的救人,保護人,雖然是全部尋求神的人。神照顧人好像是一對一的處理。不是一大群人,不知道誰,而是每個人,神都知道,以不同情況、對象來照顧,救贖我們。
