Psalms 12:3 in Context — Psalms 12

1 Au chef des chantres. Sur la harpe à huit cordes. Psaume de David.

2 Sauve, Éternel! Car les hommes pieux s’en vont, Les fidèles disparaissent parmi les fils de l’homme.

3 On se dit des faussetés les uns aux autres, On a sur les lèvres des choses flatteuses, On parle avec un cœur double.

4 Que l’Éternel extermine toutes les lèvres flatteuses, La langue qui discourt avec arrogance,

5 Ceux qui disent: Nous sommes puissants par notre langue, Nous avons nos lèvres avec nous; Qui serait notre maître?
