Ps 12 1 Help, LORD , for the godly are no more;
the faithful have vanished from among men.
2 Everyone lies to his neighbor;
their flattering lips speak with deception."
God has established His law in creation. Gods order and symmetry that provides the success of His eternal government is the law that orders everything that relates to everything else. We can simplify this by saying that every man understands governing. Every society is defined by self government. If each man could act according to the law of God that is implanted in his heart then he is related to others in a national government.
But when sin entered man began to redefine Gods law. 2Everyone lies to his neighbor;" When man changes the law he creates violence and destruction. 5 "Because of the oppression of the weak" But God does not view the governments of this world in a pragmatic way. At all times God pronounces judgement upon the wicked who oppress by illegal language and creations.5b I will now arise," says the LORD.3 May the LORD cut off all flattering lips " " cut off" is sending them outside the city for judgement.
The Psalmist is describing the law of God as an instrument of purity. If you can think of it like this. You heat gold and as it becomes liquid the impurities come to the top. This is comparing the perfect judgement of Gods word that purifies the city of the wicked. What the Psalmist is saying that Gods curses are yea and amen.
Its pictured like this. The Psalmist is petitioning God to reorder every scheme that has ever been devised. In other words Gods word purifies all of the schemes of man that create the deception that is in the culture as a result of the redefining of Gods word from all generations. The Psalmist is saying that when he pronounces the Psalms as the law , decrees, statutes, curses, covenants and promises he is opposing that communication that has in its force and illegality as potential of destroying that city. This process of meditation is the heat of the word separating the impurities or schemes for judgement."5 I will protect them from those who malign them."6 And the words of the LORD are flawless,
like silver refined in a furnace of clay,
purified seven times.
