Psalm 12 King James Version (KJV)
12 Help, Lord; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
They speak idly everyone with his neighbor;
With flattering lips and a double heart they speak.
Help, Lord - Hebrew, “Save, Yahweh.” The idea is that there was no human help, and, therefore, the divine help is implored. The psalmist saw that those on whom reliance was usually placed for the promotion of the cause of truth and virtue now failed, and hence, he invites the divine interposition.
