For the music director; according to the sheminith style; 2 a psalm of David.
12:1 Deliver, Lord!
For the godly 3 have disappeared; 4
people of integrity 5 have vanished. 6
7:2 Faithful men have disappeared 7 from the land;
there are no godly men left. 8
They all wait in ambush so they can shed blood; 9
they hunt their own brother with a net. 10
