- Would the opening refrain indicate that the one addressing Divinity for help (actually for saving) is in dire straits or is this a general lament at the fact that there are many persecuting and dishonest folks about?
- Would Psalms 12:3-4 indicate that what is involved here in terms of threat is violence or, rather, profound dishonesty?
- Indeed, is it only dishonesty or (end of Psalms 12:4) arrogant narcissism?
- The anticipated response of Divinity is set forth in Psalms 12:6-7 and once again the stress is upon what type of victim?
- Psalms 12:8 indicates that “You, God will protect them.” Who is the “them” and does it include the speaker?
