👑 Psalms 12

Psalms 12 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “Help, Yahweh; for the godly man ceases. For the faithful fail from among the children of men.” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, ““Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says Yahweh; “I will set him in safety from those who malign him.”” Psalms 12 opens with these words: “Help, Yahweh; for the godly man ceases. For the faithful fail from among the children of men.” The line to keep is Psalms 12:1: “Help, Yahweh; for the godly man ceases. For the faithful fail from among the children of men.” Carry the word “help” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Psalms 12:1: “Help, Yahweh; for the godly man ceases. For the faithful fail from among the children of men.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Psalms 12? Then try this: Read “Help, Yahweh; for the godly man ceases. For the faithful fail from among the children of men.” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
