Introduction
The psalmist, destitute of human comfort, craves help from God, Psalm 12:1 ; gives the character of those who surrounded him, and denounces God's judgments against them, Psalm 12:2-5 ; confides in the promises of God, and in his protection of him and all good men, Psalm 12:6-8 .
The inscription to this Psalm is: To the chief Musician upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. See on the title of Psalm 6:1-10 ; (note): The Arabic has "Concerning the end (of the world which shall happen) on the eighth day. A prophecy relative to the Advent of the Messiah." Some think that this Psalm was made when Doeg and the Ziphites betrayed David to Saul, see 1 Samuel 22 and 23; but it is most likely that was written during the Babylonish captivity.
