Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 12:1

1. HElp LORD, for the godly man ceaseth: for the faithful sail from among the children of men.

Or, Save me and other good men, from the Subtilty and Rage of wicked men. Saul will not help us, and other men cannot help: therefore it is a sit season for thee to help. Or, kind, or merciful, as this word is oft used, as Psal 30. 5. and 31. 24. and 86. 2.

I and my Friends are sorely and causelesly persecuted, banished from our Homes and Friends, and, which is worst of all, from God's Sanctuary, and yet few or none pity us, all Mercy and Humanity is lost.

Men have lost not only serious Piety, but even common Honesty in their words and dealings with men.
