Chords for Psalm 12 (The Words of the Lord) (feat. Nick Engbers) - The Psalms Project

[Em] Help, _ _ _ [G] _ help [C] Lord, _ for the [D] godly cease [Em] to be,
_ _ [G] For the faithful [C] disappear from [D] among the sons [Em] of men.
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Em] _
_ Everybody speaks [G] idle words with [C] smooth talking,
Flattering lips [D] and a [Em] double heart.
May the Lord cut off [G] all truth [C]
-perverting, flattering [G] lips
And the [D] tongue that speaks [C] with pride,
_ _ [D] _ The tongue that [C] speaks with pride,
_ [D] _ For this is what [C] they say.
_ [G] _ [Bm] _ _ _ [Em] _
[G] With the [C] words we speak [D] we'll [Em] conquer,
[G] With our tongue [C] and our lips the [D] weapons of [Em] our choice.
[G] There's no God [C] over us, [D] it's a [C] war of words,
[B] And our enemies think they [Em] will [G] win.
_ [C] _ _ [D] _ _ [Em] _
_ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _ [Em]
For [G] the oppression of the poor now I will [Em] _
[G] arise, says [C] the Lord.
[D] _ _ [G] _
For the groaning [C] of the needy [D] now I will [Em]
arise, [G] says [C] the Lord.
[G] _ [D] _ [Em] _
[G] I will give [C] my _ [D] salvation [Em] to _ [G] whosoever [C] yearns [D] for it in [Em] his heart.
[G] The [C] words of the Lord [D] are [Em] pure [C] _
words,
Not [B] the lying, wicked [Em] words of a [G] liar.

Now and [G] forever.
