John Calvin on Psalm 12

From verses 1-2 on how Christians are called to be a reflection of the truth
"We who would act truthfully, therefore, must be like a mirror, in which the uprighteous of our hearts may be clearly seen."
From verses 5-6 and the value of God's Word
"The illustration of silver, though far below the dignity of so great a subject, is appropriate to our limited and imperfect understanding. Yet we rarely set sufficient value on the Word of God, and in our futile thinking we can even obscure or efface the brightness shining in His promises."
