Psalm 12: Help......

Psalm 12:
The wicked walk on every side,
when the vilest men are exalted.
vs.8

"The oppression of the righteous by the wicked is especially felt in the realm of vain and proud speech (verse 2-5), but the righteous find comfort in the pure and valued Word of God (verse 6).

In the development of Psalm 12, David provides a model for passing a spiritual hearing test, in that genuine disciples listen to and properly respond to two radically different sources of speech.
(1)  Surviving the Propaganda of Depraved Speech (12:1-4).
A.   By Prayer (12:1-2);
Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; vs.1
B.   By Petition (12:3-4).
The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things: vs.3
(2)  Security in the Protection of Divine Speech (12:5-8).
A.   Its Divine Promises (12:5);
... now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him. vs.5
B.   Its Divine Purity (12:6);
The words of the LORD are pure words: vs.6
C.   Its Divine Perseverance (12:7-8)
Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. vs.7"
