Psalms 12:2-7

²Vanity they speak each with his neighbour, Lip of flattery! With heart and heart they speak.

³Jehovah doth cut off all lips of flattery, A tongue speaking great things,

⁴Who said, 'By our tongue we do mightily: Our lips are our own; who is lord over us?'

⁵Because of the spoiling of the poor, Because of the groaning of the needy, Now do I arise, saith Jehovah, I set in safety him who doth breathe for it.

⁶Sayings of Jehovah are pure sayings; Silver tried in a furnace of earth refined sevenfold.

⁷Thou, O Jehovah, dost preserve them, Thou keepest us from this generation to the age.
