Flawless Words

Read the Story

The title says this psalm is for the Chief Musician, upon an eight-stringed lyre, and is a Psalm of David. David cries, Help, Yahweh; for the godly man ceases. Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips and a double heart. Some proudly say their lips are their own, and ask who is lord over them.

Then Yahweh speaks. Because of the oppression of the weak and the groaning of the needy, he will now arise. He will set the needy in safety. Yahweh's words are flawless words, as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times. Yahweh will keep and preserve them.

Psalms 12 · Grade 4

Silver Refined Seven Times

Name Date

Read and Think

The title of Psalm 12 says it is for the Chief Musician, upon an eight-stringed lyre, and is a Psalm of David. David cries, Help, Yahweh; for the godly man ceases. The faithful fail from among the children of men. Everyone lies to his neighbor with flattering lips and a double heart, which means saying one thing and meaning another. The proud say, With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?

In the middle of the psalm, Yahweh himself answers. Because of the oppression of the weak and the groaning of the needy, he will now arise and set the needy in safety. The psalm contrasts human lies with God's words: Yahweh's words are flawless words, as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times. People's words may be false, but God's words are completely pure. He will keep and preserve the needy, even when the wicked walk on every side.

Psalms 12 · Grade 5

Flattering Lips and Flawless Words

Name Date

Read and Think

Psalm 12's title says it is for the Chief Musician, upon an eight-stringed lyre, and is a Psalm of David. It is a prayer about speech. David laments that the godly man ceases and that everyone lies to his neighbor with flattering lips and a double heart. He prays that Yahweh will cut off flattering lips and the tongue that boasts. The proud claim their tongues will prevail and that no one is lord over them.

At the center, Yahweh speaks: because of the oppression of the weak and the groaning of the needy, he will now arise and set the needy in safety from those who malign them. God sees how lying words harm vulnerable people, and he acts on their behalf.

Then comes the key contrast: Yahweh's words are flawless words, as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times. Seven is a number of completeness, so the image means God's words are completely pure. The psalm ends honestly, noting that the wicked walk on every side when what is vile is exalted, yet it trusts that Yahweh will keep and preserve the needy forever.
