Psalm 12 is a cry out to God.

The Psalmist details how the godly man cease, and the faithful men fail. He describes how the wicked speak vanity, and have a double heart.

The Psalmist continues by describing how God will punish those who lie and cause problems when they are speaking. He goes on to say that the Lord will rescue those who are caught by the evil people, and how the words of the Lord are pure. The Psalm ends by describing how evil is all around, and how vileness is exalted.

The Psalmist spoke a lot about words. How the wicked speak vanity, which means lie. How the wicked have a double heart and flattering lips. What about us? Are we honest? Do we have double hearts and flattering lips? Look at the beginning again. It says the godly men have ceased and the faithful have failed. When that happens evil comes. Shouldn’t we then not cease, but be a witness for God?
