Psalm 12 — A Word That Does Not Bend

V6

[Verse 1 — softly spoken] Every voice is polished silver;
every promise bends with need.
Praise is traded like a favour;
truth grows lonely in the street. [Response — lightly sung] Speak Your faithful word, O Lord,
clear as rain upon the stone.
Guard the small and lift the weary;
leave no wounded heart alone. [Verse 2 — softly spoken] Proud tongues claim they own the story,
hiding hunger beneath noise.
But You hear the sigh of the forgotten,
and You rise to give them voice. [Response — gentle harmony] Speak Your faithful word, O Lord,
clear as rain upon the stone.
Guard the small and lift the weary;
leave no wounded heart alone. [Bridge — intimate prayer] Purify our speaking too—
single heart and honest tongue.
May our words become a shelter,
not a weapon for the strong. [Final Response — softly repeated] Your word does not bend…
Your promise carries us home.
