" How long will my enemy be exalted over me? "
— Psalms 12:3, Catholic Public Domain Version
“The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:”
“Jehovah will cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that speaketh great things; ”
“May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts,”
“May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts!”
“How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?”
“The smooth lips and the tongue of pride will be cut off by the Lord.”
“The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:”
Unto the end. A Psalm of David. How long, O Lord? Will you forget me until the end? How long will you turn your face away from me?
How long can I take counsel in my soul, sorrowing in my heart throughout the day?
How long will my enemy be exalted over me?
Look upon me and listen to me, O Lord my God. Enlighten my eyes, lest I fall asleep forever in death,
lest at any time my enemy may say, “I have prevailed against him.” Those who trouble me will exult, if I have been disturbed.
But I have hoped in your mercy. My heart will exult in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, who assigns good things to me. And I will sing psalms to the name of the Lord Most High.
