Psalm 12 — God’s Pure Word in a Corrupt World
Show: Reading the Bible Daily with Dave (Servants of Grace Podcast)

Show Summary
In this episode of Reading the Bible Daily with Dave, Dave Jenkins walks through Psalm 12, a lament over moral collapse and the spread of deception. David looks out and sees a culture drowning in lies, flattery, and pride—but Psalm 12 shines a brilliant contrast: while human words deceive and destroy, the words of the Lord are pure, refined, flawless, and trustworthy. This psalm calls believers to anchor their lives in God’s unchanging Word and points us to Jesus Christ, the incarnate Word, who speaks truth in a world filled with lies and guards His people forever.
