Psalm 12: The Words That Do Not Lie
We live in a world awash in words — flattering words, vain words, words spoken with a double heart. David sees this with painful clarity: the godly man ceaseth, the faithful fail, and what fills the vacuum is an endless torrent of speech that means nothing. The proud tongues declare themselves sovereign — our lips are our own, who is lord over us? It is the manifesto of every age that has decided language is merely a tool for getting what you want. And then, into this fog of human noise, God speaks. And His words are of an entirely different substance. They are pure words, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times — which is to say, purified until there is nothing left but truth. The contrast could not be sharper: our words are double, His are sevenfold pure. In a world where language has been debased into currency, the words of the Lord remain the one coin that rings true on the counter.
