Proud Words vs. Pure Words

Footnotes
- Psalm 12:1 Sheminith is apparently derived from the Hebrew word for eight. It may refer to an eight-stringed instrument, to the bass voice, to low-pitched stringed instruments, or, most likely, to a method for tuning a stringed instrument (1 Chronicles 15:21).
- Psalm 12:2 Literally speak with a heart and a heart
