Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Psalm 10
¹⁸ To vindicate the orphan and the oppressed, So that man who is of the earth will no longer cause terror.
Psalm 11
¹ In the Lord I take refuge; How can you say to my soul, "Flee as a bird to your mountain;
² For, behold, the wicked bend the bow, They make ready their arrow upon the string To shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
³ If the foundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do?"
⁴ The Lord is in His holy temple; the Lord’s throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men.
⁵ The Lord tests the righteous and the wicked, And the one who loves violence His soul hates.
⁶ Upon the wicked He will rain snares; Fire and brimstone and burning wind will be the portion of their cup.
⁷ For the Lord is righteous, He loves righteousness; The upright will behold His face.
Psalm 12
¹ Help, Lord, for the godly man ceases to be, For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.
² They speak falsehood to one another; With flattering lips and with a double heart they speak.
³ May the Lord cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that speaks great things;
