Psalm 12:2
Douay-Rheims
Save me, O Lord, for there is now no saint: truths are decayed from among the children of men.
Augustine of Hippo
"He has talked vanity each man to his neighbour" [Psalm 12:2]. By neighbour we must understand every man: for that there is no one with whom we should work evil; "and the love of our neighbour works no evil." [Romans 13:10] "Deceitful lips, with a heart and a heart they have spoken evil things." The repetition, "with a heart and a heart," signifies a double heart.
